Day 11 in Africa
the day of the mountain
 

Crew's agony ended after a long deep sleep. They took something to eat in the morning, for they had to take victory over the Table Mountain. A clumsy thing in the middle of Cape Town, 1086 meters high. But the weather was in cooperation with them so they set out for the big climb and dressed accordingly.

The Table Mountain

"Not so" , the Ranger said, there is other ways to victory on the mountain. He took the rotary cable car and up it went onto the table!

And then they looked from the Indian Ocean
