We took the Platteklip trail, which is apparently a softie trail even though it’s super steep!

My view for three hours…

Job pretending everything is fine. Kim and I better reflected the mood

Nice views on the way up. If you turn around to see them

Almost there, Kim and Job leading the way

It had a good incline that rarely led up

Who knew it’s part of the New 7 Wonders of Nature?

On our way back down…

I’ve recently gotten inspired to go on more hikes and explore. A rewarding investment so far and one that I’m looking forward to expanding soon, with Canada’s beauty on the horizon.

So being in Cape Town for WordCamp, how could I pass up the opportunity to trek up Table Mountain? After taking me to Lion’s Head a few days earlier, Job Thomas was again so nice to take time out of his schedule to show me around, this time even along with his wife Kim, and it was definitely a memorable half day.
