After walking through Cape Town on the first day, we decided to spend the second day hiking the Table Mountain, which you can see from almost everywhere in town.
We took the cable car up to the top and starting our hike from there. On the way up we realized that there is a nice path up which should be doable without any gear required.
Looking down on Cape Town gives an amazing view.
It was nice and warm, the lizards seemed to enjoy that too.
Some German with the Table Mountain plateau and Atlantic Ocean in the background.
A beautiful protea, South Africa's national flower. You can find it everyone on the table mountain and in many other places.
A water reserve with the clouds sneaking up over the hills in the background.
One of the few houses to be found on the plateau.
At some point, we found this down path going through a gorge. It looks ok but is surprisingly steep, as we figured out while walking down. Note to ourselves: walk up, not down. That's what the cable car is for!
Finally, after making it down to the lower cable car station, the clouds came rolling over the mountain. This is what people there call the table cloth, it came with a strong and chilly wind.
