Trip to Cape Town: Day 6 (Thur, Feb 25)

Last day in Cape Town. The tentative plan was to try and hike up to the top of Table Mountain. Since our flight was at 3:50 pm, so we figured that we needed to leave around 7:00 am to walk up and down and get back in time to head to the airport and return the retnal cars. After some discussion, we decided that that was too early to get up, so we got together at 9:30 am and rode up the cabel car instead. The picture on the right is looking up to the top of the cable car and you can see that the clouds were rolling in from the back side of Table Mountain, so when we got up there, we could see too much. Here are some pictures of Cape Town from bottom of cable car.

I did take this cool video of the clouds rolling in. I sped up the video to make it go by a little faster.


And here is a video of a snake that we saw sitting on a rock on top of Table Mountain. He is not happy that we were watching him.


After heading back down, I got washed up and headed to the airport. The trip home was uneventful, but extremely long. Got to watch four movies on the way home (The Informant, 9, Duplicity, State of Play) and tried to sleep as much as possible. Happy to be home. Now we wait to hear back from UCT.
