Today I realised how in good shape I am in, granted, I'm a wimp, but I am super proud of myself. I had very different expectations for Table Mountain, I thought it was gong to be flatter, wilderness, but I was very very wrong. I'm used to hills and maybe some steep inclines like in Florida. The hardest hike I've ever done was in North Carolina and it was nothing compared to what Table Mountain is. Lets get one thing clear, there is no "table" part. The entire time was going up steep rocks that seemed they could fall apart at any moment. When the sky cleared, the sun was getting so hot that I drank all my water half-way up the hike. Thank god Nombusso gave me her banana, bless her heart. The hike is supposed to be "2 hours" but we somehow turned it into a 5-hour trip, yay! By the time we were almost there, we got so frustrated at all the false peaks.
My little heart sang when we found the restaurant and I ate almost everything in sight. Morris was there looking like nothing had happened and all I thought about was how he uses Table Mountain as a power play, of course i'm kidding.
I bought so much crap at the gift shop and even rewarded myself with a white topaz necklace. I have zero control.
When I got home I fell into bed and knocked out, dirt and all. It was pretty disgusting.
