June 21, 2010

Today was a long travel day.  Up early to check-out of our guest house in Umhlanga Rocks, say bye to the pugs, and head to the airport.  When we arrived at the airport, we found that our flight had been moved back 2 hours.  Thanks for letting us know Kulula Airlines!  They said it was a last minute thing.  Blah.

So after sitting at the airport for a few hours (the flight was delayed about 30min as well) we finally got to Cape Town, met our driver, and headed into town.  Our driver gave us a bit of a tour of town, pointing out the oldest college in the world (Cape Town), parliament, and the hospital where the first heart transplant was performed back in 1967.  The Portugal - North Korea match near our hotel had finished about 2 hours before we arrived so there were Portugal fans everywhere celebrating their 7-0 victory.  We dropped our bags off and headed down to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront area to get some food (chicken wings, calamari, line fish, prawns) and a few Black Label beers.  Was fun seeing all the Portugal fans.  After dinner, back to the hotel room to watch Spain - Honduras then to bed early as we have to get up early tomorrow to swim with the sharks!
