15 Hours To Go !

Here's a pic of Cape Town Stadium taken by Dylan from the top of Table Mountain at 5pm this afternoon, less than 1 day before kick-off of  the 2010 World Cup.

If the tournament is half as good as the build-up has been then we're in for a treat.

Wednesday was mind-numbing. Over 200 000 fans out on the streets of Joburg.....just to wish the team well. These pics are courtesy of some of my work colleagues, including Peter Khunong and Ken Molefe.

It's not just here that the buzz is building. These pics below were sent to me by Alan Palmer from London. He reckons England is the best place for atmosphere during a World Cup. Alan will be watching at a public outdoor venue on Saturday night when England open up against USA.

Alan and his son had planned to do a roadtrip in SA, just like we're doing, but couldn't make it in the end. He contacted the radio station I work for in Cape Town.....and now Dylan and I will be collecting match programmes as I go to help Alan add to his collection of more than 10 000.

P.S. Is that a vuvuzela I see in that English garden ???

Knysna in the Southern Cape is hosting both France (someone had to I suppose) and Denmark.On Sunday past the citizens of Knysna came out to welcome the teams to their town. Pics from Andy Stoker.
