Day 34 - Robben Island

Perhaps because the weather was terrible, or the terrible rocky boat ride that lasted 40 minutes with tons of vomiting people, or the fact that there were a billion people on our bus, or that the microphone was broken, or the fact that there were mostly young teens on our bus, or any other reason our tour was just ... ok. I was so disappointed with the overall quality of the tour. All I've ever heard was that the place was awesome and that it was going to be a memorable experience. Well it was memorable for sure, but for the wrong reasons. Being pushed around, struggling to hear our guide who conveniently had the most raspy voice ever, or still trying to manage slight sea sickness ... Ugh, it was a nightmare.

Following our return boat ride which was equally as turbulent and disgusting, I the raced off with two friends from the trip to get lunch because I felt like I was still going to gag and I was now light headed. Managed to snag some Subway which was a little different from home and sat down and quietly recomposed myself.

The evening was excellent however. After a little nap, I met up again with some friends and walked down to the water front to snap some pictures. Nt only were the pictures great, but I found some seashells that were incredible. In fact they were so amazing that I am going to try and go back this evening to get some for my family. Hope to find some goodies for sure :)


- With all my thanks :)
