Robben Island, South Africa
Off the coast of Cape Town in South Africa, you can find an island called Robben. This is where a maximum-security prison once operated. The prisoners not only the wicked, but also rebel government in the past.
One of the most famous inmate was Nelson Mandela's prison. He spent his imprisonment for 18 years in this prison of a total penalty of 27 years. However, in the end he managed to speak the truth and became president of a democratic South Africa.
Full of history trail, I wonder if this prison into one of the world heritage. Robben Island to witness the triumph of democracy and freedom against apartheid.
Now, a tour of historical sights can be enjoyed by tourists in this prison. Three and a half hour tour has included a ferry trip to the island. If you are lucky, it is not likely you will be guided by one of the former inmates at this prison.
