A while back I urged everyone to vote for Cape Town to be on board of the new ‘World’ edition of Monopoly. I don’t know how we did it but we managed to get Cape Town to 3rd position, beating cities like London, Sydney, New York, Paris, etc.
Now we have a new challenge: To get Table Mountain to be listed as one of the 7 new wonders of nature. You’ll notice a widget on the sidebar on the right hand side of my website. If you click on it you will be taken to the website to vote. Unfortunately takes a few minutes to vote because you have to vote for seven wonders. To be honest I didn’t know what 90% of them were, so I just selected options that were in other categories so they would not compete with Table Mountain. Do not be deterred, get your vote in.
When I voted we were at 29, now we are at 27 so we are already making progress. If you can’t see the widget, click this link to vote:

Wow,the “Live Rank” for the voting is showing Table Mountain at position 5, up from 27 last week! If that’s correct, we’re doing a great job!
It looks like the position is accurate, so keep voting people!

Well done everyone, Table Mountain made it through the nomination stages. Now you need to vote in the finals for it to become one of the New 7 Wonders of the World…
