Cape Town day 2

We woke up to a cloudy and rainy Cape Town on Saturday morning the 10th. We decided to try something indoors and headed to Butterfly world. My, did the girls enjoy it! It is literally a paradise under cover.
The highlight of the day for the Lil Miss was to be chosen to feed the koi fish.
Some of the pretty things to see include parrots, monkeys, lizards and blue duiker (blou bokkies). These are the tiniest most amazing little antelope and very endangered.
After spending quite a bit of time just strolling around we had some coffee at the little restaurant. It has these amazing kites hanging from the ceiling.
