"The picture above shows me standing at the summit of Table Mountain in South Africa, feeling a rush of pride and accomplishment as getting there wasn't easy (I refused to take the cable car up). With a tight deadline to catch my ship, I had only a few hours to complete the intense two-hour hike,  I was determined to complete before embarking to my next destination. Crazy fact, my day had actually started at 4am with a hike up Lion's Head,  in pitch black darkness to watch my last sunrise in Cape Town which was indeed breathtaking. Aside from the fact that I had a whole other hike ahead of me there were no regrets! As I began my ascent up Table Mountain at around 11am, my legs ached and my faith wavered. Yet, with each step, my determination grew. I drew on every last bit of strength to reach the summit, where the stunning panorama waited. The sense of accomplishment I felt was overwhelming, and the pain and fatigue disappeared. Such peacefulness made me realize that life's toughest challenges can lead to the most incredible rewards and that sometimes, it's the hard way that leads to the most breathtaking views." - Caren
