CAPE TOWN-DEC 2005

Day 2

30 Nov 2005

Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town. This is a very huge plateau that has thousand of plants and flowers species.  The park’s most unique feature is its fynbos vegetation. The mountain is also home to many species of animals. We didn’t have the energy to cover the entire plateau and thus limit ourselves mainly to the tourists areas.

       

On the way up by cable car, the view of the city and the Atlantic Ocean was awesome9.

Beautiful florals (flybos vegetation) grow on rocky landscape make it the most photographed icon of South Africa.
