点评:I don't think you can go to Cape Town without visiting Robben Island it is such an important place in human history. Tickets cost 600 Rand each for International Adults including ferry transport and guided tour. It was unsurprisingly busy when we went so be prepared to queue for the ferry. On arrival at the island you are taken on a bus tour to see some of the major sites as of course the island wasn't just an Apartheid era prison. Once that part of the tour was over we were dropped off at the prison to meet our guide Max who had been imprisoned at Robben Island for 5 years, his story was awful but incredibly powerful to listen to it was truly an honour to be in his presence. After telling his story he took us to Nelson Mandela's cell and took us through some more stories of daily life on the island before we headed back to the ferry. The only downside of our visit was the lack of respect from others on our tour sat on their phones, talking while Max was, it's a trend I've noticed over the last few years at similar places Auschwitz to name one, I believe everyone should visit these places but please treat them with the respect they deserve not just go for your selfie and the fake concern.
翻译:我觉得去开普敦的话绝对不能错过罗本岛,它在人类历史上具有极其重要的意义。国际游客的门票价格为600兰特/人,费用已包含渡轮交通及导览服务。我们去的时候岛上人非常多,所以要做好排队等候渡轮的准备。登上岛屿后,可以乘坐巴士游览一些主要景点;当然,罗本岛并不仅仅是种族隔离时期的监狱而已。参观环节结束后,我们被带到监狱里,与我们的向导马克斯碰面。他曾在罗本岛服刑五年。他的经历令人心酸,但听来又极具感染力;能亲耳聆听他的故事、能与他见面真是莫大的荣幸。讲述完自己的经历后,他带我们参观了纳尔逊·曼德拉的牢房,还讲述了岛上囚犯的日常生活点滴,随后我们便返回渡轮处。我们这次参观唯一的遗憾就是同行的其他游客缺乏应有的尊重:他们一直玩手机、大声交谈,而此时马克斯正在讲解。过去几年里,我在类似的地方也注意到这种现象,比如奥斯威辛集中营。我认为每个人都应该去参观这些地方,但请务必以它们应得的尊重来对待——而不只是为了拍张自拍照或装作一副关心的样子罢了。
