Robben Island

One of the most moving experiences in my world travels has been the tour of Robben Island.  We were led around by a former inmate who described the experience of being imprisoned for his political beliefs.  The story of Robben Island is central to the history of modern South Africa and I would highly recommend a visit by anyone who visits the Cape Town area.
