On the edge of Cape Town is a national treasure called Table Mountain.  Table Mountain is the closest national park to a major metropolitan area of any national park in the world!  Table Mountain is the crown jewel of the Cape Peninsula, which has more than 2,285 species of plants. Consider that the British Isles has 1,492 species of plants and New Zealand has 1,996 species.  Perhaps more remarkable is that 90% of these plants are endemic.  So with only a day left, we decided to spend it on top of Table Mountain.  There are two ways to the top of Table Mountain, one is a trail that winds several kilometers to gain the top which is over 1,000 meters above Cape Town.  The second way to the top is the cable car, it costs a bit more than the walk, but is much faster.
