In my last post, I shared photos where we arrived at the top of Table Mountain in PART 2 of Ending 2024 on a High Note... On Table Mountain.
Today I will share some images as we started our journey, walking the trail on top of Table Mountain.
Walking in the Clouds.
As we started walking, it looked like we were going to walk right into the cloud.
We then had to pass a high rock by walking on this wooden walkway, mounted to the side of the mountain. There were other people walking toward us, coming toward us as if from nowhere out of the cloud...lol.
Moving to the back of the mountain (southern side) from the Upper Station (on the northern side)
In he next image, if you look closely, you'll see there is a viewpoint right on the edge, with some people moving around on the rocks. This scene was just a reminder to me of how small we are as human beings in comparison with God's creation.
Along our walk, I found this beautiful scene against the background of the white cloud surrounding us...
With the Clouds Lifting, We Enjoyed Clearer Views.
Once we moved around on the top of the mountain and found our way back to the northern side, the clouds lifted somewhat and we enjoyed clearer views of what was below us.
Table Mountain is flanked by Devil's Peak on the eastern side and Lions Head on the western side.
In the next image, we are looking down at Devil's Peak from under the clouds on top of Table Mountain. At the foot of the mountain you can see some of the suburbs of Cape Town and catch a very hazy (misty) glimpse of Cape Town Harbour to the left of the photo.
Zooming out a bit to get the whole picture...
I found a nice spot from where I could capture the shadows of the clouds on the scenery below us.
The next scene simply left me speechless and I hope my photo can do it justice... But the best is still to see it in person!
Devil's Peak from another angle.
Ending this post with two images looking down from the top, while we were slowly moving closer back to the Upper Station again.
The next image was taken from the same spot, but I zoomed in here so that you can see the cars parked along the road at the bottom of all the people visiting the mountain.
And that's it for today, folks.
In my next post, I will share some images while approaching the Upper Station.
I will also share some images of an unexpected, but exciting (for me anyway) activity we witnessed as we arrived at the Upper Station.
Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!

Wow, I am also someone who really likes mountain climbing, and from the top of the peak you can see a lot of beauty, and of course the natural beauty is truly extraordinary 🙏❤️
That's great to hear! As we arrived at the upper station, I spotted some climbers and I managed to get a few shots of them. I will share them in my next post!
I'm not a climber myself, but I love watching you guys in action. I did some ab-sailing from buildings and a bit of rock climbing while I was serving in the Reaction Unit of the South African Police in my younger days.

Have a great day!

What a lovely place and weather too. I love it!
Hi @erikah! Yes, the weather was great and gave us many opportunities to enjoy different scenes and conditions. It was an unforgettable experience! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad you can travel to these nice places as we know your country is not the safest and would be a real shame not to be able to visit these places.
I saw this post on X half an hour ago. Not exactly connecting to your topic, but it's very sad.
Yes, that is absolutely true. And the scene in the video you shared is a common site on a daily basis. I spoke to a lady last week when she told me how her father saw a guy on his security tv doing exactly the same as in your video. When he confronted the guy, he got threatened with a knife.
I have been stabbed in the face in my own home while fighting off three guys when they came into our house at 3 am in the morning.
Although I study every place, and scan for safety wherever we go, I specifically look for these places to prove to myself that we still have beautiful places in our country, even though you have to be vigilant when you go there. And I love sharing these experiences with the world to show the positive side of our country as well.
I have to say, although you are always aware of what is going on around you (a habit by now), we felt quite safe and relaxed during our visit to Table Mountain. There is a lot of activity, security was good and everything is well organized.
Thank you for your response and for sharing your thoughts! I do appreciate it!
It is quite shocking what's happening in South Africa and it's only getting worse as once they steal and destroy everything, what will be left for them to vandalize and steal?
I will never be able to understand these people honestly and would not feel comfortable there 🙁
I'm really sorry to hear about what you've gone through, it's shocking.
It is shocking indeed. We consider leaving this country because as you say, it's only getting worse. But being on the wrong side of 60, it's not that easy. But our children had enough and they are taking action as they feel there is no future for their children in this country. They did their research and apparently it is possible for them to go, get settled over seas and after a while to then bring us over too. So for now, that is what we are seriously considering as a family.
Like yourself, I do not understand these people either, so I have no answers for you. I mean, we have shocking statistics of farm murders here, and then our president have the edacity to go to America and try to tell your government it's all lies...we have no farm murders here...
I was left speechless when I heard that. But it seems like he is not going to get any support from Mr. Trump.
Hi Jaco. We are also looking at leaving as one big family unit. Luckily we have the passports to do so and why I was in the Algarve a few weeks ago checking the place out for opportunities. Sad to leave, but there is no other choice as I am thinking of grand kids etc for the future. I am a few years younger ,not by much though and will help set my kids up.
Trump has dropped the hammer on many countries, some justified, some unjustified, but in case of South Africa, it was fully justified. Looks like most of them only care about themselves, no education, no morals and it's all about what they can grab for themselves, no matter the costs.
I can't blame your children and good thing there's a way out, before things get worse. I hope things are going to turn out well and wish you all good lock. I mean it!
Wow that wooden walkway is pretty scary 😆 I'm a little scared of heights too but this place looks fascinating. So lovely to see the views from above the clouds. Good thing you had good weather to enjoy it fully. Enjoy your weekend 🎉
