The first few days...

So the first few days have been incredible! We have climbed Table Mountain, which was amazing. A somewhat challenging climb when the boulders you climb up are between knee and waist high, but definately worth it. The view at the top is unreal. I'll post a pic here if i work out how....otherwise ill try facebook when i can

Yesterday we went to the fan fest where the big screen is, it holds approx 25 000 and we partied there all day (with a fulll crowd) watchin the opening ceremony and south africa vs mexico. so much spirit, the people are crazy! the street are full too. nothing like home. we also bought vuvuzelas, so much fun to play - everyone has stand offs playing them in the street and from balconys/cars etc. we went to the match france vs uruguay last night. the stadium is awesome, however the game was a bit average... but still heaps of fun! Oh and we had the most aweosme dinner last night...at the Eastern Food Bizzare..the cheapest curries and muslim food in Cape Town and they tasted so good! whole meal for 2 of us = 30ZAR whihc is about $5

So thats the run down for now... we are off to have more fun!

  1. Sounds like you having lots of fun,from what we see on tv reminds me a little of the Sydney Olympics, one big party
    Table Mt looks very impressive those boulders would have been a challenge.Fanfests are alive & well here at home also - in Civic Park in Newy & Darling Harbour in Sydney.
    Dinner for $5 is a real bargain, trust you'll be eating there again!!
    Enjoy those vuvuzelas & go the Socceroos.
    Love

  2. Been watching on TV and iy looks like a lot of fun, party mode day and night. We watched the France game but for some reason couldnt catch a glimpse of either of you. Maybe too many people.Glad you are both ok and having fun.You might be out of sight but you are not out of mind. Try and send one of those vuvuzelas home and also pictures of food wouldnt go astray. Also we would love some pictures so try and work it out. Glad to hear you are seeing the sights as well, enjoy, hear from you soon.

    Love
    Dad & Mum
