In the afternoon we climbed onto a ferry to Robben Island. This is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years of incarceration. The island served as a prison for black criminals and for black political prisoners, and as a colony for lepers.
The guide was imprisoned for dive years because he participated in a student protest whe he was 17.
