Kirstenbosch


It rained when we went to Kirstenbosch.


I had been looking forward to exploring
this spectacular botanical gardens
on the slopes of Table Mountain


but a dense mist enveloped the mountain
and we were caught in a torrential downpour.


As we ran for shelter
I felt quite philosophical...


I am sure it won't be long
before we are back.

    Fortunately we reach the safety of the shop and survived the worst of the downpour thus enabling MrsM to make some essential purchases ...
