I didn’t know what to expect weeks before my trip to Cape Town in South Africa. I had mixed emotions and like what I normally do before traveling, I lower my expectations.
I did my research about South Africa. I looked at pictures, read its history and browsed some personal experiences of people who have been there in the internet. With only a week to go around Cape Town, I did my usual top 10 list of where to go, what to do and which ones must see. Table Mountain ranked number 1 on my itinerary which I based on the many personal accounts of people from travel sites and blogs. What I read excite me. The Table Mountain grew on me as the day drew nearer to my trip to Cape Town.
The Table Mountain is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, I have been to the 2 others on the list (Underground River in Puerto Princessa in my country the Philippines and Halong Bay in Vietnam). The Table Mountain definitely deserved its spot in this prestigious list though (I believe) there are just so many that should have been included or the list does not just consist of 7 (make it 12 or something!).
This captivating mountain which I found absolutely remarkable and nothing like I’ve seen before became the backdrop of my stay in Cape Town.
The Table Mountain as seen from my hotel room made my every morning in Cape Town truly awesome.
The V&A Waterfront is a prime tourist area in Cape Town. The Table Mountain makes the waterfront even more picturesque.
One blogger wrote, “it is a mortal sin to miss the Table Mountain”.. I didn’t want to commit such sin, so off to the top I go.
On top of the world, I mean the Table Mountain overlooking the stunning Cape Town and the Atlantic Ocean.

Cape Town is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world and South Africa is on my top 7 list of the world’s most picturesque countries.
Sir! Ano po ang mas maganda, El Nido or Halong Bay sa Vietnam? I find so many similarities doon sa dalawa eh. Hehe.
Bonjour mon etudiant ! Pareho lang. They are both stunning though the boats in Halong Bay adds to the adventure but other than that I think they are equally worth a visit.
I see. Okay sir. You’re such a lucky man! :D
Sir! Maganda po ba talaga yung Halong Bay?
Lee theses are incredible photos – It’s an impressive spot and I doubt I’d leave quickly or willingly. :-)
