Castle of Good Hope
Tuesday we went on a tour of the Castle of Good Hope. They showed us the torture chamber and the dark room that up to 20 men would be kept in after torturing. It was an oppressive experience. We got to check out one of the 3 museums within the castle which had Dutch art from the 1700s and was themed around ships. One of the paintings depicted a scene where 30,000 large animals were rounded up and killed for the enjoyment of the Prince of England. Pretty disgusting. We had some drinks at the hostel to warm up for a big night on the town. Canada Sarah's 2 cousins and 3 Chilean guys joined up with us. In the evening we went out on the town with our crew and hit up the Dubliner bar and didn't make it home until 3am.. Enough time to get 4 hours of sleep before our township tour...
