Today after a rather sleepless night I decided to get the red open toped bus around the city for a look around. I was also trying to get to Robben Island, the place where Nelson Mandella was imprisoned.

I got the bus at the SA museum and went all over the city. I saw table mountain and lions head, as well as some stunning beaches and scenery. I passed through District 9 and managed to get off at the harbour and purchased a ticket on the Robben Island ferry with little trouble.

The ride out took half an hour and we were met by a guide who managed to tell us how each of our countries had somehow influenced the island. Australia brought gum trees and rabbits apparently. We got to meet an ex prisoner and his story was very moving, I also got to see the cell where they once kept Nelson Mandela. After we saw the cell we got back on the boat and went back to the mainland.

Back at the hotel I meat l my new roommate whose name is Krystal and she is from Belgium. The whole group then went out for dinner to a place called Mama Africa's where they had live music and I had Springbok steak for dinner, which was amazingly good. I then walked back to the hotel to get some sleep in preparation for the start of a long adventure.
