The final days

As the tour neared the end we returned to Cape Town for our final days. The weather conditions were favourable enough to allow our accent up Table Mountain, spectacular views and photo opportunities awaited us. By early afternoon when we boarded the ferry to Robben Island the weather had taken a turn for the worst and visibility was hampered by fog at sea.

Robben Island was an interesting place to visit, with a guided tour being given by an ex inmate, who recalled many a story about his time spent as a political prisoner in the jail. Some of his stories made us laugh and others left the group in silence pondering how such things could have happened in our life time.

Our last night was spent at the City Grill on The V&A Waterfront eating and drinking fine food and wine. The nights festivities included an Oscar style awards ceremony, speeches, gifts and thanks. As always the Donny lads wanted to make this a memorable occasion, which was marked by Lawrence Arnold standing on a chair and treating everyone to a final view of his thong.
