Table Mountain exists!!!!

So after being here for a day and a half I was begining to think that Table Mountains was just a myth that people spoke about, as I had only ever seen the bottom of a mountain, and didnt believe that a top actually belonged to it. Much to my joy and amazement when I awoke today, there was a top to it!!!!!! As it can be very temperamental, I decided to head straight up and spend the day exploring the mountain. After walking up to the base, I decided that I would walk up the side of it instead of catching the cable car-it seemed like a good idea at the start. Unfortunately I got slightly geographically embarresed, and ended up walking along the wrong trail for an hour and a half (with the most amazing views so it wasnt all a disaster) before I finally found the correct trail, and managed to make it to the top. Half way up I decided that it was one of the worst decisions I had made to walk up the side of the mountain, but once I got the the top, it felt like an amazing acheivement, which would have been made much better had I been able to actually see anything!!!!! Oh well the views on the way up were fantastic and made up for it! After having a bit of a wander across the top, and seeing absolutely nothing I headed up to the highest point on the mountain, took some photos of the cairn to proove I was there (I couldnt see anything else so not really sure if it was the top or they just say that) and then had to head back down so I could make it to the bottom and back to the hostel before it got dark-going down was much easier!

The Path up

The view across the top-or lack there of, this is what I climbed for hours to see :)
