Our first stop was at the location where Nelson Mandela was captured by police on 5th August, 1962. This, of course, subsequently resulted in his imprisonment for the next 27 years. At the end of a footpath symbolising his 'long walk to freedom' there is a memorial in the form a facial likeness of Mandela that only becomes visible from one exact point. There is also a museum nearby that contains a vast amount of information about his entire life.
Our second destination was Howark Falls, where the Umgengi River dramatically tumbles 95 meters into a broiling pool of water. It was here that we ate lunch before returning to the cottage for one last time.
