Mandela Legacy Tour -- Our Journey's End

Day 13 - Sunday, October 19, 2014
We ended our tour with a visit to Robben Island Prison where Nelson Mandela Spent most of the 27 years in captivity.  This quote at the Robben Island Museum captures the essence of this historic place:
"While we will not forget the brutality of apartheid, we will not want Robben Island to be a monument of our hardship and suffering.   We would want it to be a triumph of the human spirit against the forces of evil; a triumph of wisdom and largeness of spirit against small minds and pettiness; a triumph of courage and determination over human frailty and weakness."   
Ahmed Kathrada 1993




 

 






After our visit to Robben Island, we gathered at the Lagoon Beach Hotel for one last photo at sunset. We have enjoyed ourselves immensely, and also formed a long-lasting bond. This has been a very special group for many reasons.  The memories of this time together will last forever.


We hope you enjoyed the photos and sites we shared.  Perhaps you will join us for our next tour in October, 2015. Plan to join us for the best kept secret in travel to Africa.

Thanks for following us on our tour.
