Yesterday afternoon we went to Kirstenbosch. I haven’t been there for a long time and was keen to try out the new Tree Canopy Walkway. It’s R50 for adults to get into Kirstenbosch, which is well worth it. The parking lot was full – 100s of cars and busloads of people – yet when you get inside the gardens, they are so big that it’s not crowded. I love all the signs saying how far away places are…
The path to the Boomslang is well signposted…
And following the signs, you soon discover you are close by as it appears above the path…
Walk a little further up the hill and you’re at the start…
It is flexible and does sway, which is really fun. At the start there is all the ‘useful to know’ info…it’s 130m long and rises to 11.5m…
Seats line parts of the bridge, with the magnificent backdrop of mountains and gardens…
It’s a great place to view the city and the rest of Kirstenbosch. Off the Boomslang, we walked through the “Enchanted Garden” and found a tree with a bazillion red ants…
And soon came to the Kirstenbosch events stage, which is quite the optical illusion. It looks as if it is skew…
We went and took a closer look and tried out the stage itself…this is the view from the platform…
…and of course, it’s perfectly level…
A beautiful tree-lined road took us back to the entrance, where I enjoyed a nice cup of tea…
Beautiful place….wonderfully maintained, first world tourism and well organised. A great asset to Cape Town. We really enjoyed our afternoon!
Isaiah 55:12
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
It’s been a busy weekend and it’s not over yet. We’re going to go walking before I take Julian to the airport.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you!
In His Grip,

PS. There’s no Ebola in Cape Town!
