Cape Town to Citrusdal, Citrus Creek Campsite
This morning we headed off to Table Mountain only to discover that the 35,000 cyclists and their families who are in town also had the same idea. After about a 40 minute wait we made it onto the cable car for the ride up to the top. The cable car holds 65 people and the floor revolves so you get to see all the scenery on your way up and down regardless of where you are standing.
We walked around the “table” for a while, even with so many people there we still found some areas where there was almost no-one around. The scenery was stunning, with the beaches, city, Robben Island, and the mountains around, Cape Town is a beautiful city – and the locals know it!
We then headed to the District 6 Museum, which has exhibits related to the forced evacuation of blacks from a part of Cape Town, resulting from apartheid policies, and then commenced our drive northwards along the N7 towards Namibia, stopping overnight in a small town called Citrusdal.

Hi both !! It's long time we don't hear from you !
I see you're doing very fine. For the next time, I'd suggest you to take the path instead of the cable car.... ;-).No queue. I made it in less than two hours.
Cheers! Stefano
Well done! It's a long way up, about 700m vertically! We thought about doing the downward trip by walking, but we were told by the ticket seller it was very difficult - but maybe that was so they could sell more cable car tickets!
Hi, the blog is fantastic, great to read and see about places 'we' would not normally visit. I am still waiting to make a decision on our trip to Japan, hopefully things will settle down and improve for the Japanese people. Enjoy - RodS
Thanks Rod - glad you like it. We are having a great time, hopefully things in Japan will settle in time for you - but if they don't, there's always Africa ....!
