Here's some of the places I'll hopefully be visiting soon.
Capetown is considered by some to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world!!!

Robben Island

is now a museum

One place on the tourist map is Robben Island 12 kilometres from Cape Town.  For nearly 400 years, this was a place of banishment, exile, isolation and imprisonment. It was here they sent those they regarded as political troublemakers, social outcasts and the unwanted of society. During the apartheid years it became internationally known for its institutional brutality. Some freedom fighters spent more than a quarter of a century in prison for their beliefs.  Among those imprisoned here was Nelson Mandela.

Now I'm not actually saying I'm gonna be mad enough to do this but of the many activities to do there, one of them is to dive with the sharks (from the relative safety of a cage that is). Great white sharks are lured to the area by the smell of chum (crushed sardines)  from a considerable distance. Great whites, being inquisitive,  come right up to the boat, bringing their heads far enough out of the water that you can touch them.  As you do?
