                <description><![CDATA[A botanic garden, naturally, but it has thousands of plants all native to South Africa. It takes all day, but there is a nice eatery there too, as well as a bookshop. And from the back you can climb the old track up Table Mountain.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A church that is really stunning, even for those who get a bit jaded by Orthodox churches. Restored after the Soviets left, as so many are, the colours are bright and fresh but I won't say any more or it will spoil the surprise.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A museum in the basement of the former school/college that Stalin went to as a young student. Get a guide who speaks English, and see the amazing items worked in metal (including gold) and painted wood from two  millenia of Georgian art. It is cool, as the objects require aircon for their conservation - a blessing on a hot day. Small entry fee.]]></description>

Instead, do the student thing and queue for a Stehplatz, but you need good legs. Standing for 3 hours is good fun, but tiring.]]></description>
