South Africa, or FIFA, I don't know, has made it so that everyone has the option of seeing games, in real time. In downtown Cape Town, there is a Fan Fest site, with a mega-tron screen in the big plaza. On Tuesday, we took the train (3rd class if you please) (there were no chickens on the train but it wasn't far from that) downtown to the plaza ....
getting ready to go downtown .....
the plaza where the Fan Fest was held ...
It ended up that South Africa beat France 3 - 1, not a bad score. After the game, we all walked from the plaza to the Victoria Wharf and had dinner. Dinner out of the Food Court of a tourist attraction would NEVER be my choice for food, being both expensive and usually not too good, and this held true. I had a lamb falafal with tanziki sauce (sauce which I could have easily made better), and grilled onions. The dinner came with chips (french fries) which I gave to the LeapSa kids that were with us on the adventure.
We returned back to Bealuah Lodge late in the evening, and while many of the Fellows stayed up late, I took the opportyunity to go to bed relatively early.
