Table Mountain

I was meant to go up Table Mountain my first day in Cape Town but it was an unusually windy and inclement day and it was closed. But fortunately my final full day in Cape Town was beautifully sunny, so a great day to visit.

This is a view of the city from the bottom end of the gondola or cable car.

Each cable car takes 65 people, and what is very cool about them is the interior rotates so you do not need to worry about who gets the best view, as everyone gets to face all directions as you go up.

A view from the top.

You could spend hours and hours up here doing all the different paths.

Another view from the top. Cape Town is such a beautiful place.

Don’t jump, your kids need you!

That is Robben Island you can see in the distance. can also see their new sports stadium built for the FIFA World Cup.
