We started our day off in Capetown with a spectacular cablecar ride up to the vistas of Table Mountain… take a peek at the beautiful sights from the top…

Then we met the ‘dassies’ along the way….cuddly little creatures perilously perched on the cliff edges…

Then we headed to Robben Island. This is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years. The guide and Mandela were inmates together on Robben Island. It was a moving story of how Mandela began his ‘long walk to freedom’.

Here is his actual cell where he lived for his 18 years of imprisonment…

This is the former prisoner who told the story of what it was like to be here with Nelson Mandela who was known only as #466/64.

Pictured here is a garden Mandela grew to try and keep spirits up with his inmates.

On a lighter note in the day we enjoyed one of the best mime’s ever …who managed to sneak a wink at my sister upon her departure…
