These are a couple of photos from the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town. We climbed up through some ridiculous winds that were trying to blow us down the mountain. It took us 3 hours. It was freezing at the top so we drank 2 hot chocolates and then took the cable car back down to the base. Jillian took an alternate route and got a little lost so she finally appeared at the bottom about four hours later looking like she had just bushwacked her way through a jungle!

To the right is my birthday cake specially "baked" for me by Cait and Jenny. It was a sleeve of thick white chocolate around raspberry tart--delicious! We hung out at the backpackers that night and marvelled at the stories of some American volunteers from the Congo who were staying there. Below is me asking the time from someone with very small ears so I had to lean over and shout.
