The morning air on the lower cable car platform smells of salt and oil as the car begins its slow rotation, lifting you above Cape Town’s rooftops toward the flat-topped bulk of Table Mountain. Wind teases your jacket and the city falls away: docks and beaches shrink, while the Atlantic throws light like a moving mirror below.
