over seas and behind bars

day 3 of our capetown diary.
yesterday we left quiet early to catch the boat over to robben island (where Nelson Mandella was held in prison) getting over there was a bit of an experience- not for the weak stomache (as we found out as one of our team was sick). the rest of us conquered the art of standing up. :-)
once we arrived we jumped on to a tour bus with a number of other people and were took round the island, to the quarry where the prisoners did hard labour. we were taken around the high security prison and told about times when the prison guards made crimianals beat up other prisoners and how the partide affected how different people were treated. it was pretty hard hitting thinking that what we were being told only happened 20 years ago!
tomorrow we are going to a rural area called kylemore. we are staying there for a week, going to their church and working in the local community.

Watch out for our next update.
lots of love from the Cape town team
