Day 21 and 22... Back to Jozi and a vehicle...

The trip will now be centred around Johannesburg as the remaining games are scheduled in the Johannesburg and Pretoria areas... Got to Joburg and rented a car... I had to wait for the folks as their flight down was scheduled to arrive 90 minutes after mine... Got to a bar and watched Portugal...

Travel Day

Today it was time to leave the condo in Pretoria and head off to Cape Town for the last leg of the trip. Hard to believe we've only been in South Africa for 7 days, considering all we've done, but we headed back to the airport to drop the car off and get on our flight. The flight itself was...

Cape Town!

We're in Cape Town! Sadly, our final destination on our adventure. I've got full internet access now, so photos and videos will be up soon. Cheers!

Day 20... Italy v New Zealand...

Woke up at 6:15 so I could get in my cab at 7... The cab was waiting for me as I headed outside at 7 am... I had given myself a lot of time to get there as I had been told it took ages to by the train ticket (got mine in 30 seconds) and I was told that there were massive queues to get on to the...

The name “Soccer City” is not an exaggeration of the truth

I don’t like gambling in a foreign country. Why? Because I’ve never won anything. Twice now I’ve gone outside the 50 states and played blackjack, and lost. The rules are different. Dealer only takes one card instead of two before the players play. Do I have any idea if it’s a disadvantage...

Another day to relax

With our place of residence established for the next few days, it was certainly nice to be able to sleep in for a change and actually have a “vacation day”. We didn’t get moving until close to 11:30 or so, and our first move was to find some internet, which we’d been lacking for a few days now....

Day 18 and 19... Nothing...

Italy played their second game on the 20th, so I had a flight to [[South-Africa/Nelspruit]] on the morning of the game... I had nothing on the 18th and 19th at all, so I enjoyed the nothingness of the days... Watched a couple of games... Had a few beers... Did some grocery shopping... Had a...

Ayoba!

Leaving Polokwane began with yet another delicious meal from McDonalds. For a change, this drive was straight highway all the way to Pretoria, where we were going to be staying at a condo owned by a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend. To put it another way, a person who lives in the US that I’ve...
