Table Mountain...I did that!!!

Table Mountain, one of the seven modern wonders of the world, elevation reaching 3,558 feet up and we hiked it! It was no easy task. It took us about 2 hours and 45 minutes. I wanted to give up at some points but thanks to my fellow hikers, I kept going. It was an amazing feeling to reach the top but I also said I would never climb it again ;) Once was enough for me. Table Mountain is a prominent landmark in Cape Town, overlooking the city once you reach the top. Unfortunately the day we went there was very low visibility and we could not see anything besides the clouds once reaching the top. Enjoy the pics!



So excited at the start! Durriyyah, Chase and I ready to hike Table Mountain.


We had to get alllll the way up there...


The cable car that goes up and down the mountain. You can only get on at the top or bottom, no in between.

View from the Mountain, not even halfway up yet.


Taking a break...


Getting closer to the top...


Leaving our mark on the mountain


That was behind us, we could barely see anything below


The light at the end of the tunnel!!


We did it!! Do you see the pain behind our smiles? ;)


On top of the world!!! Well maybe Cape Town!


It was freezing at the top.

After all of that, we took the cable car back down and it took under 7 minutes! We were all glad that we climbed it, it was worth it for the experience. Even when I told them to leave me and I would be "the girl that lived on Table Mountain".
