We spent our last morning in Cape Town touring Table Mountain, the massive flat topped rock looming above the city of Cape Town. (There are, in addition, two other mountains, Signal Hill and Lion's Head as well as a series of smaller mountains, The Twelve Apostles, that make up the rocky landscape of the Cape.) They've been running trams up this hill for over 100 years. This particular model had a rotating floor so that no matter where you stood in the car, you got a 360m view on the way up. We originally planned to hike up the mountain. (Ran out of time. the weather was a little iffy too.) Many people were wandering trails up the side, some even climbing directly up the face. Unassisted. No ropes. Just scrambling from perch to perch. It was pretty crazy to watch them.
