You start the day with the city unfolding beneath you as the Table Mountain cable car lifts you above Cape Town—granite faces catching the wind, the Atlantic pulling at the rim below. From the summit the city, beaches and Robben Island line the horizon; the mountain keeps watch like an old cartographer, pointing the route south along the spine of the peninsula.
