2025 South Africa, Zimbabwe & Zambia - Day #5 - Cape Town

from our Rothschild Safaris Itinerary

CAPE TOWN

Spend the day at your own pace, taking time to explore the city. Please note a room change is scheduled for today.

Sharon and I are still not sleeping well. After a restless night, we were up and moving just before 7 am. There is a yoga mat in the room. I did a 10 minute Peloton core workout.

After breakfast in the hotel, Tom called for an Uber XL. We spent a big chunk of the day exploring the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. It is internationally acclaimed as one of the world's great botanical gardens and is a major part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The garden is nestled against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, creating a breathtaking backdrop. It's dedicated to cultivating and displaying only indigenous South African plants.

We had a light lunch at Moyo Restaurant in the garden. I had a rainbow salad.

Taking an Uber Xl back to the hotel, we ended up crashing in the room . Sharon is starting to get Kevin's cold. While we had planned to go to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art, we never got going in that direcion.

Getting clean up, the five of us walked into the V&A Waterfront for dinner. Sharon had made a 6:30 reservation at Marble. Sharon and I both had a Jersey steak cut that wasn't on the menu.

After dinner, I had a nightcap with Donna and Kevin in the hotel bar. Wandering back to the room, I crashed just before 10 pm.
