46 - robben island

so i finally talked the girls into doing something touristy slash educational trip and went on a ferry ride to robben island ! i feel really blessed to have seen this in person. even more cool because i did a project on apartheid in highschool.

a big lunch before our excursion
(or at least i did)
@ ocean basket - one of my fave restaurants in CT

our ferry to robben island!
it docks at the V&A waterfront

posing before getting on the ferry,
with the CT eye right behind us.

we're here !

i made her do that :p

look how insanely short i am compare to these two !

our tourist photo, complete with the asian sign

our tour guide - totally forgot his name !
all's i remember is he kept saying, "i love asian girls" lol

risking our lives to get an awesome photo
on the horizon is table mountain

with our tour guide

us with alex
that's my 3rd roommmate's "bf" that she met on her first night in CT.
their first week was bliss and she was so in love
and of course like all "summer camp" romance,
this one was short lived. and she cried for days.
[L] - solo pic
[R] - sanny almost fell when the big wave came ! lol

doesnt even do justice AT ALL !!!
hate it when that happens :(

on the way to the loo !

i see penguins !
(and litter? shame)

this was sorta random...
someone's buried inside.

the tomb inside, and another one in the back
creepy.

prison cell and their bunk beds
you can also see their lockers where they kept their belongings
these are the original ones they had and preserved; no replicas.


nelson mandela's prison cell

you cant really tell but perched on those white rocks are a million of birds !
totally scary.

i wanted this quilt so bad, but it was semi expensive...

at the souvenier shop
totally regretting not buying the same bracelet that sanny did
i thought i could find it again elsewhere but i never did - womp !

souvenier photo
(took a pic of it because im ghetto like that)
