Hey everyone. I am in Capetown now. This city is so beautiful. One of the main attractions is Table Mountain. It has an incredible view of the surrounding city. This day there wasn't a cloud in the sky so it was very busy. But once I got up top I was able to walk around to get away from the crowd. I decided to hike down the back side of it. I chose the 6 hour walk because it ended in a fantastic botanical gardens. The bad side was that I chose to go down the hardest route. At one point I was shimmying down a rope hanging over a waterfall. It had rained the night before so the waterfall was pretty full.
They call it skeleton gorge. The view was spectacular and well worth the pain in the legs the next day. I ended up hiking a total of 9 hours. The hotel has a hot tub on the 10 story roof overlooking table mountain which was welcoming when I got back.
