Lion’s Head Hiking Trip

On Tuesday, January 31st, after spending the afternoon tanning while others were in class, Charlie, Lauren, Corinne, Bridget, Marie, and I went on our first hike. We went to Lion’s head, which is supposed to be a simple hiking trail. The first 15min is straight uphill on a dirt road, and then you hit all rocks. The hike turned into rock climbing; there were even spokes and chains built into the rocks for us to use to pull ourselves up. And every time you think you made it to the top, it was NOT the top! It was really fun though, once on the top we could see Cape Town, Camps Bay Beach, and Robben Iland. Plus we got to watch the sunset. Then we climbed down, which was also difficult, especially since it was in the dark (oops.) We left our house around 5:45/6pm and returned a little before 9pm!
