The TABLE Mountain (aka Gunung Meja in BM) is flat top mountain situated in the Cape Peninsular of South Africa. It is also listed as one of the UNESCO's heritage of the world. Currently it is one of the top 10 in position to be chosen as the 7 Natural Wonders of the World in Mountain Category. Visitors will be able to hike up to the mountain or take a ride on the cable car to reach the peak. Students with ISIC will also be able to utilise their cards for special student price. The opening time depends on the weather. If the weather's bad on that day (very windy) it will be closed to the public as the weather can change very fast in Cape Town. For tourists who are keen on visiting the Table Mountain, be make sure to make it a priority if the weather's nice. Who knows you will not be able to visit the Table Mountain on the next day if you delay by a day.

Weather could be predicted whether there's going to be a downpour in the evening by looking the Lion's Head from the town. If the Lion's Head's covered by lots of clouds, that means there's definitely going to be heavy downpour in the evening..and yea..it really rained in the evening/night after a fruitful trip to the Table Mountain.
Well, that's all for now part 2 will be coming soon..enjoy!
