Getting to the 2010 football draw in Cape Town

Walking to the Football draw in Long Street

Walking to the Football draw in Long Street

After work Kerry-Anne and I rushed in to the city to be a part of the 2010 World Cup Football celebrations. If you’re not aware of what was happening – it was the final draw of who would play against who in the first round of matches.

Contrary to what I thought, traffic in Cape Town was a breeze, although finding parking close to Long Street (where the festivities were being held) was next to impossible. We eventually found a spot somewhere far above Long Street and took a brisk walk down to Long Street past groups of excited people – many talking about how awesome it’ll be in June next year.

The evening was awesome, and in a little while and I’ll write follow-up article with more detail about what happened along with a photo album that’ll give you a feel for what it was like in Long Street.

    I’m looking mostly at the beautiful church, palm trees, blue sky and mountains!
