Cable Car ride plus a Video!
This was the car that we took on the climb up Table Mountain.
As I have previously posted about our trip up the mountain in the cable car, I promised more posts.
Well here is another one for you to enjoy.
For those that see this for the first time, the post entails some photos of our recent cable car ride to the top of the famous Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa.
Hope that you enjoy the pictures.
Here above is the video that I made.
Unfortunately the windows only open for a very short time!
As you can see they all look happy!
Or is that nervous? LOL
And that was our way up to the top!
A brave starling catching a free ride up!
Look how this model was photo bombed!
Can you see the intruder now?
Happily he flew away knowing that all of you saw his picture!
And here is the man himself.
I hate selfies, but madam ordered the shot!
Another brave model standing on the edge!
I wonder what these guys think about all of the human animals that invade their territory?
He certainly doesn't look very welcoming!
A beautiful brass plaque of the mountain and I have circled in blue where we were!
Can you believe that a restaurant and a pub was doing a roaring trade on the mountain top!
Caught this on the way down and am looking forward to a trip on one of these!
Finally, a beautiful story about the importance of nature at the mountain top!
And That's All Folks!
South Africa is indeed a beautiful country and it's people are generally warm and welcoming.
Unfortunately like most of the other countries worldwide we also have political and economical turmoil.
A high degree of un-employment and poverty does not improve matters, with so many in need of basic services and assistance.
We do focus on the good and uplifting things in our country, but we are constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of others. Everybody should receive the same quality of services regardless of their income levels.
May we be ever thankful for all that God does for us. May we never expect to receive and receive and receive...without giving in return - in abundance!
Just as the seas are filled with fish, the skies with birds, and the mountains with wildlife...so too should our hearts be filled with generosity and goodwill for others. Life is not about living for ourselves. It is about reaching out to others, so that they too can receive the abundance that we have been given.
Nature teaches us everyday that there is life in abundance - but do we reach out for it with our hearts focused on our own wants...or do we reach out for ourselves and for others simultaneously?

Hahaha, we share the same illness about selfies JJ.
But her argument was that I always place shots of her and that I can certainly also allow it just this one time.
But you and I both know women and I am sure that she will push her luck for more heaven forbid Lol
Blessings and thank you!
LOL I am sure you are right and she will push for more thats the way of it LOL

Hello @papilloncharity
This is really beautiful place. i also like Cable Car ride. That must be amazing . we call that 'udankhatola' in our local language. Beautiful post ..
Glad that you liked it my friend.
Blessings!
You should really show your face more often my friend.
Hahaha, not me young lady, as I am not fond of appearing in front of the camera. Nature is so much better looking.
Blessings!
Ah... You are too modest my friend.
Hahaha, my mom should have named me "Modesty" my friend.
Blessings!
It's not a selfie if somebody else took the picture!
Wow, that's a long, long way up, but what a view!
Hahaha, in my book it is a shot of me.
So wish that you could have seen those views my friend.
Unbelievable beauty and the power of the Atlantic ocean in clear display.
Hope that you have a good day.
Blessings!

Very good the vidio post friends
Thank you my friend!
Gorgeous up top, have been fortunate to go up as a child in the old cable car around 1962.
Returned again with my own children in 1992, only had the original rock restaurant on top for a hot chocolate.
No alcohol bars, big eateries, Wi-Fi Bars, souvenieur shops (which looks to be the original restaurant), it was a place to go explore nature using demarcated paths.
These new cable cars look very grand, glad you enjoyed your visit up there Stephen.
Thank you Lady Joan and glad that you know what I am talking about.
Although I have been to the cape many times over the years, I have never been up. Now that they advertised their anniversary cut price we decided to go and although it was a great experience, never again,
Two hour long queues, squashed into a 65 persons per car is not my idea of fun. But let me qualify this by saying that the views from the top is so worth it.
It was indeed a great experience, but in my mind one of those once off experiences.
Blessings!
Those cable cars look scary to me. A great adventure you and Marion are having.
What an unique shot with the bird photobombing the girl’s picture.
Lovely photo of you sitting high on the mountain, Sir Stephen.
Blessings!
Thank you Lady Jo and like I said elsewhere, it was one of those once off experiences. It was great at the top and wonderful sights, but just too many people for my liking.
Glad that you liked the post my friend.
Blessings!
