We had one day in Cape Town prior to the ship’s sailing and
it was spent at Robben Island.
We had
been to CT a number of times, but had never been to this symbol of
anti-apartheid oppression. The island is about 35 minutes by ferry and reminds
you a lot of Alcatraz. Our tour guide inside the prison was a former political
prisoner who had spent 5 years at Robben Island. His narrative was compelling
and fascinating.

This was our 44th wedding anniversary. We had had so many hectic days of travel and safari, we ended the day dining in our cabin and gobbling up anniversary cake. This was our last view of beautiful Table Mountain as we sailed from CT.
Happy Anniversary to two great world travelers! What awesome photographs you are sharing with us. Loving your blog!
