Cape Town - Day 3

Summary:
1 - City Tour including being present on top of Signal Hill for the "noon shot" of the cannon.
2 - Errands (got a cell phone, dropped luggage at the Renaissance Lodge, lunch....)
3 - Kirstenbosch Gardens
4 - drive up Signal Hill for views of the city in the early evening

Animal sighting:
Guinea Fowl in the gardens

More:
On the city tour, we saw historic buildings, statues and gardens (much like Boston has) throughout. We visited Green Market Square (African artifacts sold in "stalls"; about one city block). The city is so racially mixed, it is hard to imagine the separation and oppression that occurred so recently in their history.

The Kirstenbosch Gardens are HUGE and right in/by the city. 53 hectacres.

Blessings:
Crystal clear blue skies and very warm weather!
Meeting our hosts at the Renaissance Lodge where we'll be staying after Feb. 1st
Mike figuring out how to upload photos here!

Tomorrow:
We leave EARLY to fly to the northeast corner of the SA (almost 3 hour flight) for our safari. We'll be at Umlani first and then Wed. we go to Monwana (see links to the right). We will have wifi at Monwana, but not enough bandwidth to upload photos.
