On my recent visit to the Mother City as some refers Cape Town to, had the opportunity to go to the Table Mountain for the first time i.e. one of the 7 wonders of the world. Even though wanted to walk up and down the mountain but adviced by the officials NOT to do so, since it was misty and drizzling. Then had to settle for the cable car, but even though, still had the desire to walk.
Then on the other side of the Table mountain, there stood the "Lion's Head" as refer to by The Dutch, however, felt that the mountain's shape resembled a crouching lion and eventually settled on Leeuwen Kop (Lion's Head).

Then the Lion's Head Mountain that stands 669 meters above the sea level, does it resemble the male lion's head...
Hiking the Lion's Head
I met different types of adventurous people along the way, young and old, some coming down and others still on their way to the top of the Lion's Head. Some just enjoying the scenery and
Others being greeted by the mountain's residents..
Dave's Family I met along the way to the top of the mountain...
Halfway to the top, the view of Cape Town is just breathtaking...
On top of the Lion's Head Mountain, you have the 360 view of Cape Town. All the beautiful beaches, Robben Island, Sea Point and the Table Mountain etc.
