Just-in Africa Day 9 - 19 June 2010

Soccer game number 2, Netherlands versus Japan.  The Durban soccer stadium is clearly visible from the Durban beach front it's impressive architecture, unique design; to look like a ship, Justin thought it was awesome, from afar I was admittedly less enthusiastic, its just another soccer stadium.

Justin being frisked, air travel makes you an expert.

However, I stand corrected the closer you get to the stadium the more awesome you realize it is.



Until you get inside the stadium where the full genius design of it is fully realized.  The open arch way (behind Justin in the above photo) allows for a lovely cool ocean breeze to blow through - the far left picture where you see an absence of people.




Once again equipped with our ear plugs and seated with a mix of Japanese and Dutch fans we enjoyed the summer weather as we watched the game, a 'warm' welcome compared to the arctic conditions in Joburg.







For Justin's last South African meal, we had to find Bunny Chow, headed down to the Durban harbour, we found it.




 Justin's Bunny Chow, when something has a full chili in the top of it, you know its going to be HOT!  Bunny chow is a hollowed out loaf of bread, filled with curry.  Its native Durban Indian cuisine.


The cosmopolitan is my cocktail of choice, made by the once great cocktail bar Franky Banana's by a barman named Frank, its hard to find one that measures up to the state sensation mixed up by Frank.
  

In his true style of I'm secure enough in my masculinity to listen to Evita and drink pink drinks, Justin did sample my cosmo, which brings me to a link that aptly details a mans stand on the topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFzsbXyvULc&feature=related.



A great day and Justin's last night in South Africa.
