September 6, 2011: Welcome to Table Mountain! You can hike to the top of Table Mountain, if you wish, but we were trying to pack as much as we could in to the day, so we decided to take the cable car to the top. It was fabulous! We bought our tickets ahead of time on-line, so there was no wait and the tram is shaped in a circle and the floor moves so that every couple of seconds, your view changes. And, best of all, you're at the top (~3500 feet above Cape Town) in a matter of just a few minutes!
There is a restaurant at the top and we decided to have lunch while enjoying views like this...
The site of last year's World Cup
View of Robben Island (where we were earlier in the day)
Me and my hubby. We couldn't have asked for better weather or better views!
Verdict: Yup. You gotta do it!
Note: I am writing this edit on 2/10/19; the new edition simply lists "Cape Town" and includes Table Mountain as one of the things to do while in Cape Town. I agree with this change. Cape Town has SO much to offer! And I was disappointed that Robben Island was left out of the first edition as well as Boulders Beach and the Cape of Good Hope, both pretty awesome experiences. So I was glad to see them all mentioned in their own rite under the Cape Town entry. We did all of these things while there (although only Table Mountain is pictured here since that was my original post).
