It’s fascinating being atop Table Mountain, the mountain that dominates beautiful Cape Town in South Africa. \u00a0There’s an easy and a hard way to get atop the mesa of that mountain. \u00a0The hard way is to walk up — steep grades and a significant verticle gain. \u00a0The easy way is to do what we did — take the cable car to the top.<\/p>\n

The mountain is a fascinating ecosystem\u00a0and\u00a0one of its most amazing features is the layer of cloud that forms on it, known as the “tablecloth” to the locals. \u00a0The tablecloth is not static. \u00a0Like the fog in San Francisco, it sometimes appears out of nowhere and moves. \u00a0The cloud actually advances with remarkable speed and can obscure your views in quick fashion. \u00a0But it’s\u00a0delightful\u00a0to watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t
