On our last full day in South Africa, we visited University of Cape Town - in a spectacular setting partway up Devil's Peak with stunning views of Cape Town - to learn about a project that provides resources for literacy learning in multiple indigenous languages.
And then, after seeing it off in the distance all week (with views of the mountain right outside my hotel room window!), I was happy to find time to ride the round, rotating aerial cable car to the top of Table Mountain. This cableway has been running for over 80 years! I find that astonishing because this was quite a thrill even in today's fast-moving high-tech world.
The plateau at the top provided gloriously panoramic views of Lion's Head, Devil's Peak, Robben Island, Cape Town, Cape Town Stadium, Table Bay Harbour, and other beaches and cliffs along the Cape Peninsula. Since we had already viewed many of these sites up close, this was an especially amazing opportunity.
I could definitely spend a few more weeks here in this beautiful country!
what an awesome experience. and that is a LOVELY photo of you! beautiful!
