On Wednesday, my friend Sean and I decided visit all the places in Grahamstown that we havn't been to in our four years here. Other places, we decided to visit for the last time as students... We had such a fantastic and fun day. We laughed like little kids and definitely made it a day to remember. Here are some pics on from our 'field trip'!
Botanical Gardens
Old Goal
Once a jail, this place is now used as a backpackers accommodation.
This jail cell would hold 8 prisoners
Albany Museum
South African Library for the Blind
Brail typewriterObservatory Museum
At the top of the building is a camera obscura, where there's a mirror at the top of the building that reflects a 360 degree view of the town which you can see from inside.
The museum is a replica of a house that would have existed in the 1820's

I, I have nothing in particular to say but you asked for newbies to leave a comment so here it is :)
It seems a bit creepy to sleep over a jail cell *shudder* Untold mysery and all that nostalgia ;)

There's a youth hostel in my home town that's also been converted from an old jail, it's really funky and very popular! You can see some pictures here.
I'm also slowly approaching the end of my studies ... I prefer not to think about it yet! I should do something like what you and Sean did, it's a great idea :)
i really liked the pics...especially the ones of the house and the last one. :)
