So I am finally somewhat caught up with my blogs. This past week the weather has been finicky, so our trip to Robbin Island was postponed until yesterday. Again, I went for a morning run around the Commons with a few other girls. We hopped on our bus to catch the ferry for Robbin Island, and found that something had blown with the engine - so 14 girls plus Lisa Marie got out of our bus and had to push it down the road until it started..only in South Africa haha. Well, anyway, we managed to get it up & running, & caught the ferry for a trip to where Nelson Mandela had been imprisoned. We had a dramatic tour guide who gave us every detail of the past history, and I got some amazing pictures - which I have yet to be able to put up online. STILL no internet at the house, so we have all learned to make do with what we have. So we all lucked out with the gorgeous weather & later stopped at the Waterfront when we got back, to have dinner in the seaport area - that was literally like a postcard view! It's a more touristy area at the Waterfront, but still amazing food for not that expensive. The seafood is really good here - I got a whole plate of seafood (muscles, calamari, shrimp, etc.) over angle hair pasta, for about 10 US dollars with tip included.
