The next day we went to Robbin Island- prison home to amongst others Nelson Mandela. Again we weren't very lucky with the transport- god did I feel seasick.. ask Rik I moaned the whole crossing!! and I mean moaned!!

However all my moaning was well worth it when we arrived. The tour was very thought provoking and made more prominent by the fact that half the tour was taken by a former political prisoner who had been imprisoned for 11 years and the other half by a young student on a mission for World Peace... was nice to see people cared for things so passionately. It was interesting to sit in the cells (and they are tiny) and see the pictures and one belonging of the individual who had lived there..

We were really lucky to have been able to go and its something Ill always remember!!
