Day 14 - Table Mountain & Lion's Head!

   This was probably by far my favourite thing I've done since I've been home! We got up early and drove over to Table Mountain, one of the 7 Wonders of the World! It has been closed several times this past week due to winds, so today it was very busy. We stood in queue for a good time before we finally made it to the cable car that took us up to the top of the mountain. It was only a four minute ride up, but it was crazy and exhilarating as the car rotated so we could see over Cape Town. The view from the top was absolutely gorgeous and indescribable and my photos cannot even justify how amazing it was up there!

   Heading over to the bottom of Lion's Head we ate a quick picnic lunch then made the long hike up the mountain. It was steep and definitely a challenge, but a great hike and it was the perfect day for it! The higher up we got the more climbing we were doing. We did not make it to the very tip of the top, but we made it to the top. It took us about an hour and forty-five mintes to go up and down. We enjoyed the day and had some wonderful family time!

 The path up the mountain was this narrow the whole way

 Yikes! So many places where you could slip and fall

 We decided not to go any further, but next time we'll climb to the top of that part of the mountain
