After we landed in Cape Town, we drove to our temporary house. It had amazing views of the ocean and Table Mountain.

After we saw the house, we headed for Kirstenbosch, an amazing botanical garden in Cape Town. I found many succulents.

Kirstenbosch didn’t have only plants, Guinea Fowl and ducks were everywhere. One kid almost got bitten by a duck(he deserved it).

The succulents at Kirstenbosch are incredible!

Kirstenbosch also had a boardwalk in the sky. A treetop path wends its way through the canopy of Kirstenbosch.

Wow Willie! It seems that you are on an extensive and exciting trip. The vistas and the succulents are both beautiful. It indeed looks a lot like Santa Barbara due to the similar Mediterranean climate. I think I even saw some eucalyptus trees in one of your photos. Safe travels and I hope you encounter many more succulents.
Willie! I’ve been avidly following your blog and am so enjoying your photographs and thoughtful commentary on your adventures. I look forward to more updates soon. Your travels look beautiful and exciting. Sending my love to you and your family!
