Who needs a stair master?

I have arrived in South Africa! we are staying at a hostel in green point which is right by the world cup stadium. Its all very cozy and our hostel roommates are friendly and welcoming. Today was our first full day in cape town and we decided we should start with a little hike up table mountain. Well table mountain isn't little and the hike was hard. It took us about 1 hour and 45 mins to make it up the Platteklip Gorge trail starting at an elevation of 400m and ending at around 1100m over 2 km. It was all stairs and not normal stairs but knee high boulder stairs. But in the end we made it. We went pole pole(slowly) and after sweating and then getting high enough that the wind froze us we made it to the top. The view from the top was amazing. We decided to go down on the cable car instead of back down the stairs as a reward. All in all a great start to our time n Cape Town :D
