Hi girlies :) I just finished some work that had loaded up from when I was in South Africa, and I’m on my way out on a powerwalk. I’ve decided to start doing an hour powerwalk/run every single day, and so far I’m loving it, especially with fun music in my ears. Speaking of exercising, I thought I’d show you some pictures from the toughest mountain hike I’ve ever done, and I’ve climbed a lot of mountains in my life. We thought this would be an easy morning stroll, so we headed out pretty early, and poor Brianne only had donuts for breakfast. I’m glad I had a real brekkie, cause holy shitballs this was one hell of a hike!! Pardon my french. It was so incredibly steep, two and a half hours hiking and it didn’t get any less steep until we made it to the top. When we came to the top we felt like we were on the top of the world though, an amazing feeling! Most tourists just do the cable up, but if you’re ever in South Africa, be sure to do the hike, if not for the exercise, then at least for the astonishingly gorgeous view. Picture time!! Check out Brianne on the fourth picture, if you can see her. Haha, poor thing didn’t have much energy left after donut breakfast..
How gorgeous does it look?! I wanna do it again! Okay, that’s a lie, maybe in a couple of years.. When our driver picked us up after the hike, he told us about an American couple he drove around a few weeks ago, and they actually asked him “Wow, that’s a big mountain. Do you know how much time it took to build it?“. That almost beat our comments on the horseback riding safari! Hope you’re all having a fantastic Friday<3

Ååh, så herlig! Jeg angrer for at jeg ikke gikk opp, men tok den”heisen” i stedet :/ Men neste gang!! :) Så flink du er som skal gå tur hver dag, var veldig flink til det selv en periode, og det er så deilig! Hvert fall når det blir en rutine :) Ha en fin dag videre!

Hahaha, enkelte amerikanere er virkelig eksperter på gullkorn…
Nydelige bilder! Ser virkelig for meg at det var en fantastisk (men tung) tur! :D Håper jeg får sjansen til å klatre opp dit en gang selv snart. Det hadde vært noe!

You mentioned that we’ve been a bit quiet lately, so I just wanted to let you know that I’m one of your probably many many readers who LOVE your posts, I’m simply just too busy to comment. But you’re seriously the best blogger there is, and I love to read about your travels, it’s so exiting. So keep it up, you’re awesome <3

Dette fjellet ligger ved Camps Bay i Cape Town :) Vi var der i tre dager, resten av tiden i Stellenbosch :)
Christiane says
Lovely photos! And just btw, because you mentioned the skinny girls on Pinterest in a previous post, you have an amazing shape and I’m pretty glad that there are still fashion-conscious but non-anorexic girls ;) Great style! xx

Hei! Jeg har også gått opp table mountain for 10 år siden da jeg var 12 år gammel. Jeg syntes faktisk ikke at det var en hard tur i det hele tatt, og synes ikke den kan sammenlignes med Stoltzen! ;)
cathrineheienberg says
Da gikk vi IKKE opp samme vei, haha. Finnes mange veier å gå opp :) Vi gikk den som bare er straka vegen rett opp, bare klatring :) Så absolutt stoltzen-ish..

Hei.
Jeg skal til cape town i oktober, og har lyst å prøve meg på table mountain. Brukte dere 2,5 timer bare på veien opp? Gikk dere ned også? Vet du hva stien dere gikk het? Stedsnavn fra der dere startet? :) Ser ut som en fantastisk tur :)
cathrineheienberg says
Husker dessverre ikke hva veien vi gikk opp het, men det er den som er ganske rett opp hele veien. Det finnes lettere rutere tror jeg, som er litt lenger men mindre “klatring”. Hvis du spør de der nede vet de det helt sikkert :)
