I'm glad that the cableway people are making some concessions to locals as the prices had got seriously out of hand! And it seems walking up these days is a life-threatening endeavour :o)<BR/><BR/>You describe so perfectly the peace of being up there. I spent a lot of time in my parents' holiday flat in Three Anchor Bay in the 1990s - it was an absolutely glorious place with views forever, but the traffic noise was absolutely constant, even on the 12th floor. I used to get really short-tempered and snappy after a few days there, but didn't know why. And then we went up the mountain and suddenly... I was calm and relaxed. The astonishing contrast between the bustle of the city and the calm of the mountain in its midst actually can hardly be described in words!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325204219395014329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-57150259872670272442007-09-14T11:43:00.000+02:002007-09-14T11:43:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-82417847250419716412007-09-07T10:58:00.000+02:002007-09-07T10:58:00.000+02:00a very belated, but very happy birthday to you!

I can't believe how adorable your kids are and how much this hike of yours reminds me of my time in AUstria - Jeanne and Nick were saying how similar to SA the lake region in Austria was and now I can begin to imaging what they were talking about!

Your photographs are beautiful, especially the one with table mountain in the background and the girls running in the water.<BR/><BR/>[I haven't been by your site for a while so I scrolled through recent posts and read the one about your cat Horry. My old cat Katie had similar symptoms and the vet said it was probably a tumor. I took her to another cat specialist who was pretty sure it was a tumor also. He said I could take her home to die or they could do a catscan to see what was up. I was able to opt for the expensive catscan but they found no tumor. I took Katie back to the 1st vet who did blood work on her and found out that she was very low on potassium. I started giving her potassium pills and soon she was as good as ever and lived another five years. She was toppling over and couldn't walk when I first took her to the vet! Perhaps Horry has a similar diet deficiency...?]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-36270887487664353882007-09-01T03:34:00.000+02:002007-09-01T03:34:00.000+02:00That's an amazing environment there--and beautiful...That's an amazing environment there--and beautiful photographs, too.pilgrimchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808106043964544413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-74594176080820179882007-08-31T15:48:00.000+02:002007-08-31T15:48:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-37471354566684088322007-08-31T00:50:00.000+02:002007-08-31T00:50:00.000+02:00Perfect way to spend your birthday!
