Johannesburg, RSA
After a relaxing and delicious breakfast, care of Sylvia, we spent the morning walking around our Bed & Breakfast‘s neighborhood of Zoo Lake. There was the little Park View Village area of shops and cafes (where we had bought our cell phone the morning before) and, of course, the eponymous Zoo Lake. We had a great walk and exploration. When we headed back to our abode, we were pretty antsy and didn’t want to try to do anything else other than get to the stadium, see the atmosphere there and take in the excitement of our first South African World Cup game. Sylvia had heard that the train ran every 12 minutes so we decided to head down there at 2:30 – for our 8:30 game! Sylvia had a driver arranged for us (Justice’s partner, Thibiele) to take us to Park City Station, where we could catch the train to Soccer City for our game in the evening.
