Table Mountain

Looking up at the mountain, we would never have predicted that we would hike all the way up. Friday morning was the start of our trip up Table Mountain. Walking shoes, hats, sunscreen and sunglasses were compulsory and our hike could begin. The view from the mountain was beautiful, also during our way up. The first half was very tiring, it wasn’t a difficult part to hike, but it was so hot and my legs were so sore. On the second half we had to do more rock climbing, which was fun. I climbed through a cliff with a width of less than a meter. Some parts of the hike were quite scary, especially after the teacher told us that six people die each year in a specific part of the hike. When we arrived on top of the mountain the view was just amazing. It was a good feeling to have climbed all the way up. We got a nice view of the entire city and all the bays and beaches. We could even point out some of our houses. Luckily, we took the cable car back down. On Friday night, Elise and I went to a valentine’s concert/picnic at Bishops, the boys’ school. After the concert, Elise slept over at my house. It was a nice night.
