Cape Town day one

We really need like 2 weeks and a wad of cash to do everything we want to do here. But, we don't have either of those. Today we went to the Kirstenbosch gardens. They have around 4000 varieties of plants here. Usually I'm not a plat person but this was beautiful. They say if you are on vaca here and the sky is clear you go to the mountain. We have been begging to do some sort of physical activity since we left Germany.....so today we climbed table mountain (ironic since we hike one at home all the time). It's the tallest place down here in Cape Town. The lady at the front told us we shouldn't go up since there were some clouds. They also said it would be 6 hrs. Being young, dumb Americans we defied both. It was beautiful. This is the kind of place my mom would love....birds of paradise everywhere. Tomorrow: shark diving!

You'll have to put somekind of something together with all of your pictures. There just isn't enough space on your blog. What an amazing trip! Sooooo jealous!
