On a lovely visit to South Africa's Cape Town, we went to the top of Table Mountain.

It was breathtaking.

And once away from the sharp drops and cliffs of its edge, you'd almost forget you're on top of a mountain.

Lion's Head from Table Mountain.
The piece of the land to the right?  That's Robben Island,
site of the prison where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned by the apartheid government for 27 years.

Part of Table Bay.  How beautiful is that water?!

Cape Town, Table Bay, and Table Mountain are just stunning.  These photos don't do the dramatic vistas remote justice.

Did I say before I want to go back?  Because I do.
