THE TABLE MOUNTAIN The main... by SirRichard
THE TABLE MOUNTAINThe main attraction in Capetown, but donīt even try to go up if the day is cloudy, you wonīt see nothing. There is a round cabined cable car that takes 6 min to go up, rotating through 360 degrees on the way up.
Once you are at the top, more than two kilometres (1.2 miles) of pathways lead you over the massif, with breathtaking views of the city and ocean below.
Take some warm clothes, as it is bloody cold up there if the wind blows. The bistro on the summit is one of the most incredible sundowner spot in Africa.
