Especially nature lovers and photography enthusiasts will enjoy the splendour of this natural spectacle! This is a link to a selection of flower-photos taken in the West Coast National Park(about an hour's drive from CPT): http://www.sanparks.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=36190 and the official San Park site to the Namaqua National Park: http://www.sanparks.org/parks/namaqua/ It states that more than 1000 of its plant species are found nowhere else on earth! Now that's impressive! Dorothee (Southafrica-Stay.com) :) Excellent article Keith! :)

I'm can imagine that the flower shows are spectacular. I'm sure they're a site to see. You could take some great pictures. Simply gorgeous! Cape Town looks so beautiful.

I did not get lost and no, there was no need for a heli to come rescue me! I most enjoyed my stroll through Soekershof (in the Robertson valley) and Yvonne's passionate commentary of the largest collection of succulents anywhere on this planet! To any of my readers, if you're in South Africa and passing through the Robertson Valley, drop by the Soekershof gardens and maze. It's gorgeous! Say "goede dag" to Yvonne & Herman (two fellow Dutchies) for me too! Cheers, Keith Hi Yvonne & Herman,

I'm glad I got to see it. I was quite late but was very lucky because it was an unusually wet winter so the the blooms lasted longer. Well, you certainly didn't miss the durian experience! ;-) Cheers, Keith Hi Sherry,
