As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we discovered one of Stellenbosch's gems over the weekend - the Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens. The garden is supported by the University of Stellenbosch, and whilst it's the perfect place for students to relax and have an afternoon nap under the trees, it's also used to assist with the practical training of botanists as well as research into the field of botany.

When we visited I noticed several students lying on the lawn under the trees, and others at the coffee shop enjoying juices and tea. It seems like the perfect place to hang out and escape the books during exam time. :)
