RE: Riding up the Mountain with the Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway Cable Cars, Hartbeespoort, South Africa

At first it was fine, but then I felt the fear creeping into my bones and my body. The creaking sounds, the cart swaying from side to side...

I'd not be afraid due to swaying or height, but what would concern me is the technical condition of it. I've seen so many accidents lately due to lack of proper maintenance.

Anyway, the place is beautiful and I'm glad I got to see it through your post. Chances for me to visit are slim to none.

Oh, don't even go there. Luckily it seemed fine, but in our country where corruption is so high, this is something that really is a problem. Now I am even more scared, as I did not even think about that when I went up there.

Also a sad reality, but luckily we can travel through these posts with others. I just wish I had more time to virtually travel with more posts, but also to actually go to all of these places. My fiance is itching to travel, so I do not even have to convince her!

This is why I chose not to scare you, but ... I know how things work in your country, so I understand if it's a concern.

I know how beautiful some parts of the country is, but security is a nightmare. I know so many are blown away by Cape but they can only see the famous places where life seems like paradise.

Anyway, I hope you get to travel and post about it too, so we can see the beauties of the country.
