Well what can I say took a week off from work and went to Cape Town .. It was really awesome .. It had a few unpleasant moments .. The weather was cold and rainy (didnt really pack for this, but then again i enjoyed the shopping that took place).. Lets not forget about the wind. But it had is highlight, I went to Robin island ( this i will never forget, thank you) .. Now I understand the struggle .. And what determination was .. The fight for freedom, for us to live the life we take for granted . You can't begin to imagine what the political prisoners and normal prisoner had to go through, it was a warm sunny day on the island and yet the concret floors were ice cold. One of the ex prisoners explained that before they had windows there were just open bars, can you imagine the ice cold atlantic wind blowing into the cells. Here Mandela spent 27 years of his life in a tiny cell of 5 square metres. I have a whole new outlook on our country, and the fight for our freedom .
O'yes and then the big day, my friends engagement, that was really awesome. I have never seen someone so nervours, all he could do was smile .. showing off those pearly white. Now lets take into consideration .. He is younger than me .. That really made me see that I should stop acting like a grown up child .. And sort my life out.
