Last Day in Cape Town - Kirstenbosch display at the V & A Harbor

Our last morning on our amazing 40 day trip to Africa!  We are actually flying back to the U S on 9/11.  We figure it is probably a safe day to fly.  We fly from Cape Town to Johannesburg.  Then a 15 hour flight to Atlanta.  Another transfer flight to Nashville - then  2 hour drive home to Tennessee.  Around 32 hours of travel - door way to door way.
 
We went to breakfast at Melissa's at the V & A Waterfront shops.  We stopped to visit a display at the harbor from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.  This is a replica of the display presented at the Chelsea Flower Show in London.
