As mentioned on my post, there are so many trails up (someone mentioned 130 to me) that you can hike the mountain over and over again with a different experience. We went to Kirstenbosch so we saw the forest rising along the side of Table Mountain on that side...but on the other side, where we did the India Venster hike, it was basically straight climbing without any cover (that's why you have to do it really early - once the sun turns the corner around Devil's Peak it gets very hot).<br />Nice post,<br />Frank (bbqboy)Bbqboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531090158440744408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-54398270085816777672014-03-10T19:08:19.989-04:002014-03-10T19:08:19.989-04:00We hope that someday you will get the chance to do...We hope that someday you will get the chance to do, it was spectacular!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-55530408321627048372014-03-10T19:05:49.071-04:002014-03-10T19:05:49.071-04:00It was absolutely stunning!It was absolutely stunning!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-60053374511561827802014-03-10T19:03:24.909-04:002014-03-10T19:03:24.909-04:00It must have been so sad to have looked at those w...It must have been so sad to have looked at those wonderful views and then not have been able to enjoy them freely.

The reminder of Mandela's imprisonment in such a gorgeous place reminded me of living in Marin County, California and catching views of San Quentin prison and Alcatraz every single day on my way to work!mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-86819177249614469852014-03-06T09:46:13.137-05:002014-03-06T09:46:13.137-05:00You would think that if you climbed all the way up...You would think that if you climbed all the way up that there would be no charge to take the cable car down.Contessa https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482663305121297253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-57983205649759380452014-03-06T09:25:09.877-05:002014-03-06T09:25:09.877-05:00Breathtaking for sure - oh my - goosebumps - you m...Breathtaking for sure - oh my - goosebumps - you make geography so fun!Connie and Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324923679408549696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41144043791567973882014-03-06T08:25:49.347-05:002014-03-06T08:25:49.347-05:00What an uphill or up-mountain that hike was!
