  • You can't go to Cape Town and not go up Table Mountain! I went with a group and because a couple had already walked up on previous trips, we decided to take the ultra modern rotating cable car. This was fine but we seriously underestimated the queue!

    We had to wait a good 50/60 mins with a lot of people getting stressed because we were going to miss the sunset - as it turned out we got up there with about 10 minutes to spare and got a great view but really should have allowed ourselves more time.

    At the top there's a bar selling expensive beer and a restaraunt selling average food but you don't make the trip up there for the snacks! Take a walk around and if like a lot of people when we were there, take a picnic with a couple of bottles of champagne and sit up there for a good couple of hours thinking how lucky you are.
