| I wish I were you! Don't miss visiting the world-renowned Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens! There's a huge amount of information about it on the web. I also suggest a hike up Table Mountain! A tram can also take you to the top, but hiking up is not really too strenuous, and you'll see many additional botanical niches, including tropically humid creek beds and waterfalls with wonderful plant life growing on their steep banks and cliffs. Stroll along Adderley (a boulevard) and you can admire the beautiful hedges, vines and flowers in the park, take a break in the Tea Garden, and spend a fascinating hour or two walking among the exhibits in the Company (Botanical) Museum. If you can make time to travel a little further afield, I highly recommend a day trip to hike around the Cape Point Nature Reserve, where you can take short hikes or walk for endless hours among spectacularly beautiful and dense "feinboss" fields of Proteas and S. African heaths, or prowl the beach to study the aquatic plants that also abound (from tidal pool tinies to huge and smelly ropes of kelp anchored farher out). Bird and animal life also abound there, from glittery bee eaters to ostriches to blesbock antelope. The reserve is my favorite, and the one I would choose if I had to make a choice.
