Table Mountain

We took the cable car to the top of Table Mountain.

image

We could have climbed it on this narrow zigzag path, but we were lazy and couldn’t find it. This is where we would have come off the path onto the top.

image

This bird did not have to take the cable car or the zigzag path.

image

Table Mountain is above the city of Cape Town and has very pretty views.

image

It is known for it’s weird plants.

image

Like this one.

image

And this spiky one.

image

This plant has tonnes of tiny flowers opening.

image

Here’s another confier plant. Or at least based on the leaves it looks that way.

image

Although all the plants grow very short they seem to have very bright colours in their leaves.

image

The bees were having a field day with all the open flowers.

image

Okay so the pun was bad that doesn’t mean you have to fly away.

image

Not all the flowers were all the way open. This one needs a little more time.

image

This one needs a lot more time. Very pretty pink though.

image

Pretty purples were all over the place too.

image

The petals to this one were much more broad in shape.

image

The flower looks a lot different with all the stamens and pistels still attached. image

There was more than one bird up the mountain.

image

It was a great day up on top.

image

No one way really around over here. Most people only do a small walk to see the view and miss out on all the things growing up here.

image

Maybe one day we will learn some plant names. In the mean time we’ll just take pictures.

image

This is what most of the walk looked like with the tiny flowers intermittently spaced around.

image

Just us up on top of table mountain.

image

Well at least this part of table mountain.
