| Steve Bikos Grave |
I just got to our cottage in Hogsback Mountain where we're staying for the night. So here's a little something about today and the next few days.
We left Umtata this morning and drove to King Williams Town. We went to Steve Bikos grave and house. He was a leader of the black consciousness movement during apartheid and was killed by police who beat and tortured him to death. However, somewhere between Umtata and King Williams Town I got really sick, so I didn't really enjoy the Steve Biko presentations as much as I should have. After that we drove another 40 minutes to Hogsback Mountain where we're staying for the night. Me and 3 of my friends have our own little cottage with a fireplace and everything. It seems so nice up here but it's raining and we're leaving really early tomorrow so I don't get to explore. Also Erica came back and joined us yesterday. She's not 100% better yet, but she's feeling a lot better. She's on a really strict diet for the next few days to help her digestive system but that's it.

Tomorrow we're going to University of Fort Hare, a former top black university. Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, and the first presidents of Botswana and Zimbabwe all went to school here. Then we go to Port Elizabeth where I'll be for a few days.
