Our first stop will be in Cape Town, South Africa. We will stay in the Commodore hotel which is in the heart of the waterfont district. It looks like a lovely area to hang around for a few days, but of course there will be little time to relax.

One optional tour (which we have signed up for) will be to Robben Island. Nelson Mandela spent a total of 27 years in prison. 18 of those years were here.

Apparently, in the 18th century, thousands of slaves were brought to Cape Town from Java, Ceylon and Malaysia, etc. Slavery was later abolished and their descendants settled here.
