The summit of Table Mountain emerged as our plane descended into Cape Town, its rugged features and magnificent cloud-reaching stature a rather daunting introduction to the hike scheduled for the following morning. Capetonians in our cabin remarked on the rarity of such a crisp, clear view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is normally cloaked by the ‘tablecloth' – the nickname for the mist and cloud formations that drape over the plateau.
Grateful for the clear weather conditions
