Round the World in 30 Days

Photo of the Day – Cape Town, South Africa

The most recognizable landmark in Cape Town, Table Mountain towers over the city offering spectacular panoramic views.  It is often covered by a line of clouds known as the “tablecloth.”  But on a clear day, there are two ways to the top:  the aerial cable car (complete with rotating floor) or, for the more adventurous, a 3 hour strenuous hike up a challenging, rocky trail.  I chose the hike and, though, at times along the way I questioned that decision – in the end it was the most rewarding path to the top.  When you spend hours hiking to enjoy a perfect (and my first) African sunset, it is all that much more rewarding.
