New Capetown Soccer Stadium
In less than 100 days, South Africa will be hosting the World Cup Soccer Championship and everywhere building and refurbishing is going on to get everything ready. Most of the activities will take place in Jo'Burg (Johannesburg), but Capetown has built a new stadium and is putting in extra bus lanes
in preparation for the games that will be held here.

Thatched Roofs
The most amazing sight was an area where all the houses had thatched roofs, just like in England in the Shakespeares time. The gorgeous white sand beaches here are used to train a stable of champion race horses.
Two Oceans Restaurant
The impossible happens at Cape Hope - a restaurant with low prices and excellent food - overlooking the point where the currents from the Indian Ocean mingle with the currents of the Atlantic Ocean. As an added treat, someone was having a Birthday and the staff sang Happy Birthday to her - only the song was in the tribal language Xhosa (Mandella's tribe) and it was sung in beautiful harmony with a joyful chorus
that stunned me.
As the singing continued, these birds listened in to a nearby conversation, waiting for any treats that might fall.
