Well Table Mountain is definately a must see in Cape Town. As you descend into CapeTown the views of the mountain can be seen. The weather can be difficult to perceive as it changes very quickly and the mountain tends to be surrounded by a lot of low cloud. Fortunately the day that I was ascending the mountain was ...
