Our natural wonder!

Let me just tell you that if you live in Cape Town or are just visiting and you haven’t been up Table Mountain, then you are missing out in a big way! Last week, when the weather was perfect, I made my mission to the cable car station and had a stunning day on my favourite mountain.

For so many Capetonians, Table Mountain symbolises home.  We see it every day in its flat-topped from, but rarely get to experience the beauty of the rest of Cape Town from a bird’s-eye-view.  A trip up Table Mountain in their state-of-the-art rotating cable car will cost you about R195 per person. Every cent is worth it. Just some advice; get there early to avoid long queues.

The trip in the cable car is pleasant. It can take 65 people up at a time. It rotates the whole ride up so that everyone gets to see our beautiful city. When you reach the top, you are in for the treat of your life. The views from the top will take your breath away.  You can view all of Cape Town from the top, from Camp’s Bay’s white beaches to the Green Point Stadium in miniature. The magnificence of the place we live in makes me proud to say I’m Capetonian! On a clear, sunny day, Cape Town looks like Never Never Land from this viewpoint!

If you haven’t been, make plans to go soon before we hit winter. It is no wonder that Table Mountain has been officially named as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the world!
