During our first touring day in Cape Town, we rode a tour bus around the city to see major attractions and one of my favorites was Table Mountain. This mountain is 1,086 meters or 3,563 feet high and has two big peaks called “Lion’s Head” and “Devil’s Peak” that are connected by the lower rocky part of the mountain. During the year, multiple journeys up to the mountain in cable cars are taken daily; however, cloudy days make it harder to see the view of Cape Town from up above, so most people are risky in the hopes of making it to the top to enjoy the amazing view. The weather today was perfect with a few clouds so our group went for it and by the time we got to the top the “table cloth” of clouds cleared. The view was absolutely surreal and the scenery breathtaking! I enjoyed getting to see the beautiful South African geography. Not only was the view of the city amazing; the mountain itself was cool because it contains a huge number of different plant and animal species; more flora and fauna in fact than in all of Great Britain! If you would like to read more information about Table Mountain, I have found a website with more facts that is listed below.
