Grahamstown

A cool little university town with some great looking buildings, but unfortunately as it was Good Friday virtually everything in town was closed. We stayed at The Old Gaol, another one of these backpacker places that was once a jail and has been converted for the pleasure of paying guests. Unlike others I've stayed at , this one hasn't been touched up that much at all, which at first was a bit of a surprise, but once you got used to it, it was quite cool, although the uniforms were a little scratchy, the shackles a little tight and the food a little basic. The cells where we slept were nice and cool and it was nice to get out of the blazing sun.
