The view at night is amazing!

I had to see it myself!

When i was approached by my fellow amazing friends to go hiking on the lions head, i was a bit sceptical but ended up going. I was only told the after while cruizing around Cape Town that we are going hiking! Anyhow we went up there, it took us approximately 45min to get up there. I am not the hiking type but this time i just had to go, simply because its in the top 100 things to do in Cape Town.

You know what they say about Cape Town is such a small world, i was shocked to see how many people i knew along the way up. Anyhow so as we went up the mountain i couldn't wait to get there. Now the fun part was when i had to climb up using a chain, one mistake i'm done. Some heavy lifting was made along, i hated it but i survived the climbing.

The other thing i noticed was how when you looking up the mountain it seems really far but i tell you it is worth it. If ever you in CT and you want to do something challenging just go hiking. I know it does not seem so exciting and challenging but it is!

The narrow paths, man i hated them because then at most time i had to let the first person in only to find out that there are 12 more people coming down on the same route. I just had to be patient because i was nearly there. So we get up there and the view was so amazing. i like it how you have all views, from Camps bay, Sea Point, City to Table Mountain. so we setup our little spot, took loads of pictures. 8pm hit we were still up there and by then everyone had left. Nevermind us we were enjoying the quietness and view more especially at night. Time came for us to go back down, smart we only had one touch and cell phones. There is 5 of us. Four out voted the one and we had to spend the night on the mountain.

It was not fun at all, i was cold and uncomfortable. We found and rock and slept underneath it, i could not sleep at all. I was up all night and the next thing i knew it was 3.45am and i could not take it anymore, so we all head down. Thank God there was a full moon out at that time. So we went down and when we got down there was a sign that said NO CAMPING. how funny was that? So yes, hiking was fun and the not prepared for camping was not. other than that it was great!
