COUNTRY STYLE EATING

The farm style restaurant was my favorite at the Noordhoek village. It is a ideal place for breakfast and lunch. They also have a deli shop, flowers, books etc... and while eating I was following the pie making in the open kitchen... It is in a small shopping centre that has a gift shop, art gallery, wine shop and antique shop...

KIRSTENBOSCH BOTANICAL GARDEN

Cape Town has so many things to visit… by the sea and on the mountain tops, but one of my favorite is the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. It is part of the National biodiversity institute and it is one of the world heritage sites. Kirstenbosch is in the heart of the Cape Town, few km’s from city centre. The vast park area offers more than just a beautiful set up of different gardens, it is a place for picnics and summer Sunday concerts and art…It is a real jewel of the plant world…
