Gondola to the Sky

On the second day, Grandma and Papa rode a Gondola to the Sky. We reached the top of Table Mountain in three minutes. It is called Table Mountain because it is flat on top just like a table. The view there is amazing.  South Africa is hosting Soccer World Cup this year. They are building new stadiums in many of their bigger cities. Soccer teams from all over the world will play here in June.

The island in the background is Robben Island. There is a prison on this island where Nelson Mandela lived for many years.  He was incarcerated for 27 years. Twenty years ago today, he was released from prison so that he could help his people obtain their FREEDOM.
