Good weather for our trip to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held for 18 of his 27 years in prison. The island is only 7 miles from the mainland and a 30 minute boat ride. The tour was very interesting made especially so by the guide who was himself a political prisoner on the island. The prison was finally closed in 1991.
At the end of the tour we went and saw the penguin colony. Apparently there are over 58,000!
