South Africa 2015: Groote Schuur Zoo, Rhodes Memorial

Ant brought Scott and I to one of his favourite haunts back when he was studying in the University of Cape Town. The Groote Schuur Zoo is a haunting remnant of what used to be, having been established in 1931 and abandoned in 1975. It’s probably hard to reconcile my paranoia over dark places and the supernatural, but abandoned and derelict spots have somehow managed to secure a spot in my scaredy-cat heart. Luckily, I had two dependable friends to keep a lookout for potential ghostly prowlers and security guards who might lock us up for real if we got caught loitering in the cages, heh.
