I'd rather be playing with Elephants

View From Table Mountain



The one must-do thing in Cape Town is a trip up Table Mountain. Table Mountain is the dominant point in the Cape Town-scape. The large flat-top mountain watches over Cape Town and creates a magical feeling in the city. The other mountains in the range like Lion's Head also contribute to the feeling that this town is other worldly.

I took the cool cable car up to the top and brought a picnic lunch to enjoy the view. You can see all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope, with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian Ocean (or False Bay) on the other. The city sparkled down below, and I could see the posh beach community I would like to live in one day!
