talk about the things you discovered at the hotel or the garden.

The Silo hotel was actually built in and over an old silo. Wow. What a nice place this is, I'm not sure I want to just spend one day. Definitely, spent some time in the pool. Then slept in as well. Then got restless so went with a guide to the Kirsten Bosch National Botanical Gardens. South Africa has placed these conservation gardens in many different places throughout South Africa. The South Africa Biodiversity Institute is responsible for these flora places.

Such beautiful views from the ground. There is a large conservatory of plants. The outdoor plants are native to the Cape Town region. A walkway placed high over head is one of the ways to view the plants. You can find small waterfalls and pools among the arrangement of plants. There were lots of plaques around to explain the plants we saw. We climbed around in one old gnarled tree with limbs growing close to the ground.

walking through Botanical Gardens connects one to the earth in a special way. Then the guide wanted us to experience a more normal part of the city. He took us down a highway to a place called the Brass Ball where we ate fish and chips while watching waves crash on the sandy beach. We watched surfers get wasted as the rolling waves were high and rough. There is beer, wine, and alcoholic drinks as a part of many types of places such as the Books and beer pub last night. This is because alcoholic beverage is a part of the social atmosphere of Cape Town.
