And so, I went, with Jeannie and Haley, to Robben Island and saw the prison of many of the current members of the ANC including Mandela and Zuma. We saw his cell, and the cell of the “originiator” of the freedom movement (back in 1960) ,Sibukwe. There are about 120 people still living on the island including previously released ex-cons (political prisoners) who give tours to people like us. I would write more, but this is long and this week has been busy.
We also went to the Cape of Good Hope which we learned about as little kids in Social Studies and History. I think next, Jeannie and Haley want to go to vineyards and Table Mountain.
