We had a great view on our way up the mountain.
The floor of the cable car rotated but I found a nice perch near the center that was stationary.
Unfortunately the summit was cold and enveloped in clouds.
As our cable car started down the mountain, we passed another one going up.
Our drive continued on to South Africa's fabled Stellenbosch wine area with a stop at the Waterford Estate vineyard for a wine and chocolate tasting.
Delicious!
Our next stop was at a vineyard in the lovely town of Franschoek for lunch.
Look what I found down a flight of stairs on my way to the Ladies Room!
This gourmet restaurant specializes in serving locally grown natural foods, and our lunch was both beautiful to see and tasty to eat.
The sun finally came out after lunch, just in time for us to enjoy this view across the valley. Franschoek is surrounded by mountains yet they don't make you feel hemmed in--more like you're in a gigantic bowl. This has to be one of the loveliest places on Earth, and it was a fitting conclusion to our last day in Cape Town.
