Climbing Table Mountain

Yesterday we did the 3 hour and 45 minute climb up Table Mountain. There are various routes to climb table mountain and we decided on the longest one-one where we could enjoy the view. It was very challenging and what started out as a group of 4 ended up with only 2 people. People had estimated that it was a 5 hour hike but since Marlie and I were speeding through it we finished in good time. My legs were aching since it was a constant uphill and at times I felt winded and had to stop to take full deep breathes. Once we made it to our point at the top it felt like such an accomplishment! We then took the cable car down to the very bottom because my knee had suffered a little on the climb- we weren't able to hike back down. If anyone ever makes it down to Cape Town, I highly recommend climbing Table Mountain! :)
