    This is so weird to think about! I was on that exact same cable car in october! And trust me, your knee's went weak from just the 5 minute ride up to table mountain, can't imagine being up there for hours!

    Its great there :slight_smile:

    Although shanty towns by every main road..

    I must post pictures sometime ~ but they were shot with a 2000 x 2000 format and theres 667 pictures >.> so selecting and reformatting would be a bitch.

    They should visit table mountain though, after it fixes up this little cable car problem though. I highly recommend it.

    yeah i doubt they will go up there, even if they fix the cable car, my mom is deathly afraid of heights and she would never get inside something suspended that high in the air lol. we were in paris this fall and she was so uncomfortable the whole time just walking up the eiffel tower

    Damn, I laughed so hard at Martin's reply.

    I live in Cape Town and it's beautiful here =). I still haven't gone up the cable car though... :shrug:

    That sounds pretty fucking scary. O_O

    I'd totally freak out if I had to go in a cable car.
