It's Summer in Cape Town and there so many places to go!!!!A few weekends ago we decided it was about time we dug into the adventure fund and go to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens for a picnic. I think we had the same idea as every other Capetonian but fortunately there's enough trees for everyone and we found a lovely spot with the guinea fowl. It really is a beautiful place to spend and afternoon.
On our way out we decided to stop an have a quick drink at Moyo...what an experience! Such friendly staff and the most delicious ice tea under the African Sun. The menu is great and unlike some of the other Moyo's they have an Al la carte menu which is very affordable - Spring onion and cheese samoosas are a definite winner and were accompanied with delicious complementary bread. The best part of this experience was the fact that we had our hands washed before our meal by our lovely waiter.
So off we went to Rhodes Memorial. Other then the lovely view of Cape Town it's really forgotten about and could be a little more looked after and enjoyed (Although I hear the tea room has a great reputation). There must have been at least 3 very brightly colored wedding parties having their photos taken which was sweet but they took over the 49 steps -one for each year of Cecil John Rhodes life- and made it very difficult to get to the top of the memorial. It's worth seeing at least once though.
