I left the hostel this morning and made my way to the hotel, which came as part of my cruise package. After checking in, I made my way back to the V&A Waterfront and the Robben Island Gateway to catch a boat to Robben Island.

Robben Island used to be the prison and labor camp for non-white political prisoners during the apartheid regime. Today the island is preserved as a museum and memorial. Tours start with a half hour boat trip to the island, include a bus tour around the island and a walk around the prison, led by a former inmate.
