Robben Island





Yesterday was very eventful. A couple of us went to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years. Im only on page 230 of his over 600 page Autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom (Thanks Betsy!), but the trip really made his story come alive. Our tour was led by an ex-political prisoner of the island:

Above is Nelson Mandela's cell. He had a single cell since he was a leader. Its crazy to think that Mandela's story is only one of thousands that took place here...
