So I like to say that I am adventurous.. that is kind of the point of this whole blog. A new adventure every day right?! Well that definitely happened last night. When I thought of taking a hike up Lions Head Mountain (in Cape Town, South Africa) I thought it was just a nice trail that circles around the mountain a few times… I was partially right. Besides the fact that the entire first half of the hike was up hill and circular… my idea of this hike was completely off base. Half way up you have to start climbing ladders and rocks… not ideal for someone with a fear of heights. This hike has to be one of the most nerve racking things that I have ever done, almost didn’t think I would make it. Having to face my fear of heights, the lack of visibility, and the fact that the trail wasn’t exactly made for short people was difficult but amazing! The entire mountain was covered in a cloud of mist, but when you got a chance to look down (something I sadly seldom did) the view was beyond beautiful. Getting a chance to see the entire Cape Town from Camps Bay to Waterfront was breathtaking. An experience that if you are allowed the opportunity I would highly recommend.
