The cable car trip going up was horrible. Too crowded. Too noisy. Somebody's backpack smashing your chest. A wayward hand hitting your chin while he takes a selfie. A guy doing facetime talking obnoxiously loud. But why did I still give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐? Well, after the ridiculously unpleasant journey going up, you'll be rewarded with beautiful scenery, so beautiful that you'll quickly forget the unpleasant journey that you just made. Moreover the return journey down the mountain is not crowded!
