But we have seen a lot.
On Saturday we drove to rustenberg for the Ghana game. The stadium was
well set up with a park n ride system and big screens and beer gardens
in a fan park area to hang out in before the game. When the game
kicked off the stadium was half full, almost all of them Aussies. The
Africans arrived during the first half (africa time!).
The game was great, the atmosphere was amazing. The referee - not so
great. And I got some great photos.
Rustenberg itself was quite a different experience. We were staying in
a backpackers, with very overpriced budget accommodation, and bars on
the doors of every room and the garages. But we were with other
Aussies and there was a big Braai waiting for us after the game which
was good. The accommodation was also right in the middle of town, on
the bustling Market street and near the minibus terminal, so we got to
see a glipmse of local life but only from the car since we didn't have
much time.
And now we are back at kloppy, where I can go on walks in the valley
of boks, wildebeest and zebras by myself!
We are off to Kruger for a couple of nights now before the next game.
Tim and mario stayed with us last night on their way back from the
Italy - NZ game (go NZ!) and gave us lots of tips for Kruger since
they were there a few days ago. So we are off in search of lions,
elephants, bushbabies, and hippos!
