Table Mountain!
Another beautiful day in Cape Town...so we decided to hit a local tourist spot called Table Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain).
Table Mountain sits just outside of Cape Town and rises over 3,500 feet above the sea. We boarded the cable car, which is one of only 3 in the world that rotates as it ascents the mountain face. Here is a picture of downtown from the peak. You are looking at the wharf that we visited yesterday!
We walked around, to see all the sites up on the rock! You are looking at Campus Bay Beach below.
Picture of Lion's Head Mountain!
Here is a picture of Robben Island. President Obama is planning a visit this historical site this weekend. He's in town giving a speech at Cape Town University! Robben's Island was the prison that Nelson Mandala was during his incarceration before becoming Prime Minister.

You can choose to walk up, ride up or walk down, ride down. Here is a picture of those who choose to walk down! It is a long trail back to the parking lot...We choose the easy route and rode down!
Devil's Peak!
