Table Mountain Classic

We did a quick hike up Table Mountain from Platteklip Gorge and down via India Venster, ending underneath the Cable Car to show Austrian cousin Sash and girlfriend Julz the sites of our beautiful mountain.

This is a classic route up with a very easy, clear path to follow. Its always busy, there is a security hut at the bottom, plenty of parking and always crystal clear streams to drink from.

In search of Pelargonium scabrum

Some people put on their skirt suit and heels to go to work. I open my cupboard, look for the oldest thing I own, and put that on instead. Then I head off into the hills... But the absolute best thing about my work (botanical research) is all the beautiful places I get to go to that I would otherwise never experience, the strange and wonderful plants we discover and the quirky people I meet along the way. I could fill a blog about these folk, but I digress.
