Staying in the Table Bay Hotel at the seafront supposedly enabled us to have a good view of the famous Table Mountain. Somehow, throughout our three days stay in Cape Town, weather had not been kind to us. The mountain was at most time not visible because of the thick cloud and mist. We were also supposed to travel to the top of the mountain via the cable car. Each time after our tour guide checked with the cable car operator, we were told that the cable car service was still suspended because of the strong wind rather than due to the wet weather. It is just too risky to run a 65-person capacity cable car under strong wind condition. The frequent wet weather and strong wind in Cape Town is attributed to its geographical location: being near to the Cape of Good Hope where two oceans meets - the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.

The night before we left Cape Town, we took a ride of the Cape Wheel. As the wheel is comparatively not very huge, the view coverage was not that extensive.
Table Mountain shrouded in cloud: This was what we saw most of the time in Cape Town.
The weather finally improved at the very morning we left Cape Town to the airport to catch a local flight to Johannesburg. We had a glimpse of it in our moving bus.
