Table Mountain

Cape Town sits in a valley surrounded by a small. yet beautiful mountain range. The center piece of this range is Table Mountain (some others include the 12 Apostles, and the Lion's Head).

To get up there you have to take a cable car. Unlike the small 6 seater in Gulmarg, Kashmir, this one held 60 and it rotated as you climbed, giving you a full panoramic view during the ride.

The vistas from the top of the mountain were majestic. And the strong winds and chilling cold actually added to the experience.

Good times were had. :-)

The cable car - kinda scary to think you are just being held by a wire
