View From the Top of Montserrat

It took a while for us to get to the top of Montserrat using the cable car. We managed to get the worst place in the cable car, that would be right in the middle and I could hardly see the beautiful scenery which was passing us by. I was hoping that the trip back down to the cable car station won’t be as crowded as this one. Unfortunately, chances as slim since there seems to be only two cable cars plying the entire route. This is also probably the reason why the cars are much larger than I am normally used to. No surprise that I was in a hurry to get to the top of the mountain, no really much point if you can’t see anything on the way up.

The cable car station at the top of Montserrat wasn’t really anything special either. We immediately got out and started taking photos. What became immediately apparent was how much colder it was up on the mountain. The wind was quite strong as well which made it even colder. I was ready with my winter jacket. I always thought I loved cold weather but now I’m not too sure anymore. It wasn’t sunny at the top either as the clouds kept blocking the view. From here you can get a great view all the way back down to the foot of the mountain.
