Day at Leisure???

The question marks in the above title relate to the fact that most of us are more tired after our "day of leisure" than after a full working day!

Some of us took the morning walking tour of a township and found the experience inspiring and highly worthwhile. One person termed it "life alterting".

The three Wisconsinites spent the morning running a 10K race which we found on-line. There were thousands of participants in a huge event. I won't mention times, except to say that Tom was nice enough to wait after finishing for quite a while, waiting for me and Rebecca.

After lunch, most of us took the optional tour of Robbens Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for many years. At the top of this post is a picture of Table Mountain, taken from the ferry and below is Robbens Island.



After a bus tour of the island, we received a tour of the prison itself, with the guide (in the front of the picture) a former political prisoner on the island.













To the right is cell in which Nelson Mandel was held for 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment.











After returning, we went to the home of a charming South African family for dinner. More on that tomorrow.
