On Sunday, a bunch of us got up and hiked Table Mountain. It took us about 2 hours to get up there and the path was super steep. It didn't help that we were out the night before and the climb was exhausting. I was drenched before we were even half way up. But nothing has ever been so worth it. The views along the way and at the top were incredible. I didn't think it could get much better after hiking Lion's Head, but it just did. As we approached the end, the mountain rose above the clouds and at some points we could barely see the bottom. But then at the top everything cleared up and the sun was radiating over all of Cape Town.
At the top of the mountain there is a cool little cafe where we stopped and ate lunch. As much as it would have been fun to hike another two hours down the steep mountain with full stomachs, we instead rode the cable care to the bottom. Compared to the two hours it took us to get to the top, it only took five minutes to get down.
I've done a bunch of other little visits to different places. My friend Perri (in the picture above ) and I went to the planetarium last weekend because it was raining out. There were all these different types of stuffed animals including sharks, fish, whales, and like every other type of mammal. We also saw a half dome planet show of the various constellations. We both fell asleep, but it was still a great visit.
More to come.
