The other reason we stopped in Bloemfontein was to go to the Cameroon/Japan game (back-up game since we originally thought we might not get England tickets).
No bobbies ... but we did find boerre op perde:
The game turned out to be a major carnival and a complete culture clash!
We've honed our vuvuzela skills and at one point I was leading the entire stand in a call and reply (based on the mating call of a rampant ostrich).
Not such a crowded game, I see. We watched the match live (and free, much to our surprise) on ESPN on the computer. Katherine has become a World Cup highlights addict, to be found sneaking into our office at all times of the day to check the standings on the FIFA website.
