It was a good way to spend our final day in South Africa.
The clouds cleared from yesterday, the sun shone, the temperature rose to 30 degrees and we packed the day full, including a trip up Table Mountain, a Star Wars movie for the boys and Christmas shopping for the girls, followed by an inspiring trip to Robben Island where Dr. Nelson Mandela (and many other political prisoners) lived for 18 years. It was a good way to spend our final day in South Africa. There are no photos of the 4D Star Wars viewing, but the boys said it was great. Robben Island's prison closed in 1991 - Mandela and others were released then. I was 18 years old at the time. It's hard to believe sometimes that apartheid was part of such recent history.

Living in the south for so many years, I had a taste of racial discrimination and its effects.
