Cable Car

As we witnessed the arrival of the the cable car, after 20 minutes of a grueling walk in splattering rain, we finally climbed aboard the cable car and were on our way to the Carters Observatory. As we each found a seat, we all heard a voice come from the drivers end of the car saying, “Everyone get comfortable and get ready for a nice relaxing ride up to your destination”.
At that moment each of us heard a screech as if we were on our way. We were in fact on our way and starting to climb a brutal ten minute climb to the top of the hill, to the Botanical Gardens and the Carters Observatory. About three minutes passed and we entered our first tunnel.
‘WOW, look at that, we are in a tunnel!’ I heard as Jackson and Derek pulled up against the window to examine the situation.
After five or so minutes we saw another car was approaching from above ours. We quickly changed tracks to let the other car go by on the way to the bottom of the hill.
