CPT : Trip to Table Mountain...

Kitaorg sampai Cape Town dah tgh hari... after some rough calculation we decided to rent a car instead of ambik tour. but first thing kena buat adalah cari tempat tinggal... aku sangat sibuk during the weekdays masa office so tak sempat nak buat apa2 tempahan hotel/guest house/b&b. plus hotel kat joburg pun tak de internet... so gamble je... knowing that now is a low season, aku rasa surely aku akan dpt bilik...

yup, its a low season sekarang sbb dah nak winter... bila nak winter... makna nya ujan je lah tiap2 hari... but alhamdulillah, tghhari bila kitaorg sampai sana it was sunny and clear blue sky :-) secepat mungkin kitaorg settle je ngan bilik yg ada... then kitaorg terus beli lunch, kfc je... then terus g naik ke atas table mountain. as advice by many ppl, since sekarang ni hujan better naik je atas table mountain bila cuaca cantik... sbb bila cuaca tak elok e.g. windy or hujan or cloudy or misty etc, mmg cable car tu tutup.
ada 2 cara nak naik atas tu, either naik cable car (at Rand145 per pax approx RM70) or menapak 2 jam ke atas. weather tak bagus tak elok menapak, keadaan maybe slippery or berkabus tebal (read : macam lah larat nak panjat gunung tu!!!)... so off we went naik cable car...

yang lain nya cable car kat sini berbanding yg aku pernah naik, kita tak perlu berebut utk dpt tgk view, sbb lantai cable car ni rotate so kita dpt tgk view 360 degree :-) actually view dr base cable car tu pun dah giler cantik... byk dah gambar ambik... bila naik kat atas tu, lagi lah cantik... Subhanallah... enjoy some of the pictures...

view of the port and central of cape town from table mountain

the peninsular, i think terus sampai ke cape point (tanjung harapan)

see how flat is the table mountain...

its pretty cold up there... plus very windy...

kita org makan lunch kat situ (late lunch) and tunggu sampai the last car turun ke bawah jam 6pm. trying to catch the sunset..

nampak tak macam ombak putih kat tgh laut, tu actually awan...

although the same view again... but so breathtaking... ambik berulang2 :-)

its getting darker...


actually mmg banyak aku ambil gambar kat atas tu... almost every part of it... gambar2 kat sini do not really do justice to the table mountain... and at last we have to go... although belum sunset... you can still see the 'awan' or ombak coming from the sea

total awesome experience...

that night aku g jalan2 kat waterfront. apparently jumpa pareh (filipino guy) kat atas table mountain yg mcm minta aku hantar ke waterfront. so kitaorg g jalan2 dulu kat situ... later g makan kat one of malay restaurant kat penempatan org melayu... nice simple meal... and then balik tidor...

p/s - it was raining that night... and the next morning was berkabus satu cape town, i presume its the 'awan' yg dtg dr laut... anyone know what's actually that 'awan' is?

Awan????Probably fog - my nearest guess based on my experience living in San Francisco bay area. Your Cape Town experience makes me wanna go there!
