Table Mountain and Breakfast

I hate heights and so to go on the Cable Car up Table Mountain to the top was not top of my list to do - but the thought of a fry up did tempt me.

So we were up at 6.30 and having packed the cases arrived at Table Mountain by 8.30 - and the queue was very long. It took 45 mins to get on the cable car - and then in 3 minutes we were at the top. It revolves 360 degrees as it goes up - so you can see all the views.

Once at the top - to the cafe before all the Japenese tourists push in - and I had a nice English Breakfast - looking at the twelve apostles - and a coffee.

We then wandered around the summit - no table cloth today!

After we came down we left Cape Town for Hermanus - about about 2 hours drive. We are staying in Bed and Breakfast - and found the place - it looks ok - then stright on with the shorts and whale hunting.

Linda saw a lizard and some Dassies this morning - and then some Whales and their calfs this afternoon - we saw about half a dozen whales - doing different things - and Linda used all her film up on them


Weather is good - and so it is pleasant - although after 5pm its a ghost town as everything seems to close!
