Exploring Kirstenbosch Gardens and the new tree walk

Highlights of our morning in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens included ...

• Getting to experience the Boomslang Tree Walk for the first time, high up in the canopy. It's been beautifully designed and made.
• Getting to photograph a lesser double collared sunbird.  So glad I lugged my 400 mm lens, it was perfect for the job.
• The extremely cute baby guineafowl.
• Drinking the water from the spring at Lady Anne Barnards Bath.  Thanks Chrisèl, I've never thought to do that before!  It tasted absolutely delicious!
• A delicious red cappuccino to finish off (a "cappuccino" made from rooibos tea.)

Lesser Double collared Sunbird - which I've wanted to photograph for ages!

Lady Anne Barnards Bath

A delicious red cappuccino to finish off.  Not complete without plenty of honey and cinnamon!

Climbing Table mountain with Russell

Ah, memories don't come better than this!  Russell and I started in Kirstenbosch, then hike up Skeleton Gorge. At the top, we did some leaping on an overhanging rock (Russell was a lot less terrified than me!) and then we headed off for some geo-caching.  Finally, a delicious swim in the reservoir and more leaps.  What an awesome day.
