Yesterday (wed) we travelled from 5am to Port Elizabeth to go to the England Slovenia game which was fantastic! Although it was a long and arduous drive getting into the stadium and seeing the boys play was a wonderful experience. Glad we won too, good goal from Defoe. My friends watched the USA game elsewhere and they went through too which was helpful! We relaxed last night in our backpackers lodge which, although a little strange and 'vibrant', does the job and is very safe. We have made a few friends here and feel very settled.
Today we travelled to Addo Elephant National Park which was a great drive through the rolling hills of Port Elizabeth. In the park we saw numerous wildlife including Elephants right next to the car, warthogs and deer like animals with strange names. Although there was lots of driving involved around the park and to and from it, we had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed it. This afternoon we came back here and made a massive spaghetti meal, I taught someone to drive a manual car and we have just returned from watching the Japan Denmark game in a local pub. Needless to say I am very tired right now!
Will speak soon, Port Elizabeth is a wonderful place and in continuation with the rest of South Africa, everyone here is really kind, welcoming and friendly.
Muchos love
Stu
