Robben Island Museum (RIM) announced this morning that the popular cultural tourist attraction set to close for 2½ months for renovations in the lead up to South Africa’s hosting of the G20 summit later this year.
This will be a huge blow for anyone visiting Cape Town in the winter months, as this is a unique place to visit. And imagine if you have timed a quick break with us at the end of July, and the Cableway is shut as well.
Eish!
The good bit about these announcements is that the facilities and safety of these iconic attractions are improved and maintained, keeping them in great condition for guests and visitors in the future.
Just a bit unfortunate if you are turning up in our little corner of Africa and braving the winter weather, and you don’t get to see the (top of the) Mountain or do the Robben Island tour.
Thank goodness there’s still the wine route(s).
