I recently visited Table Mountain again – and before then I can barely recall the last time I decided to venture to the top of the infamous mountain. I was pleasantly surprised to find on the day of my visit hundreds and hundreds of foreigners had also had the same idea. And shocked to find only two South Africans. I enjoyed the different languages and cultures all eager to witness one of the seven wonders of nature in the world up close and personal, but sadly disappointed that so many were not local... |

A large majority of my friendship circle have never been to Table Mountain and I can’t help but think why not?! My boyfriend loved the trip and the views were out of this world!!! The day was crystal clear not a cloud in sight so the visibility allowed as to see as far as the ocean travelled, as far as our eyes could see. It was my partners first trip to the mountain in the 28years he has lived in Cape Town – his answer to my reply why he has never been on the mountain before, was that it is a tourist thing.. For all you out there with the same frame of mind – NO IT IS NOT. This is our home, our country and we should enjoy the beauty of it just like the people who travel 1000 and 1000 of kilometres to see it. It s on our doorstep after all... The only shop on top of Table Mountain “Shop on Top” has a large variety of goodies and treats to sell, the Souvenirs although pricey are a must see. The restaurants food was also more delicious than I recall, the food all fresh and a numerous amount of choices to choose from. The cable car literally sped up to the top and back again down to the bottom, while conveniently spinning around for a 360degree view. A wonderful day spent on a magnificent historic site! |
