• Cape Town to Southampton
    Cable car gondola heading up. Its a short trip up but steep.
    What a view. Capetown and it's Harbour.More view of the hazy hinterland. The top of the mountain is often clouded in.That woman was following me around. Good thing. She had the cable car tickets.View from the other side.Calm Atlantic Ocean.Lunch. Great seafood here. The Savannah is good but not quite as good as the Namibia/Botswana brew.So where are we again?Its that Mountain again. Can't get away from it.And again.The lift bridge at the marina opened. Bit of a delay getting back to the hotel.

    Going Up!

    8 maja, Afryka Południowa ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Weather forecast was for clear skies today, so we prepared for the ascent of Table Mountain. This requires
    1) Taxi to the cable car station
    2) Standing in queue to get in the cable car.
    3) Ride cable car to the top
    Exhausting. The queues are often very long but from being dropped off to arriving at the top took 1 hr. That's not bad at one of the top tourist attractions in the world.
    The view? Amazing! Clear and calm. It's so high above the city and the distant valleys were hazy, adding to the scene. I hope my photos do it justice.
    One surprise is that the floor of the cable car gondolas rotates as you go up or down, so you get a 360 degree view just standing in one spot.
    Then, back to the Fish Market for lunch and a Savannah Dry. Have a wander around and then a short harbour cruise before we have to head back for our night out. Dinner and some other people dancing.     Czytaj więcej
