AYOBA!

We haven't partied this hard in a long time!!!! Whoo hoo!!!! We started the week with the Germany v Australia game, and walked down to Suncoast to soak up the atmosphere and drink a few beers. The Australians were rowdier and armed with inflatable kangaroos. The Natal Germans were also well represented - pretty much everyone was at the game. Coert had the best horn, but I reckon I get extra marks for making my minivuvu sound the Last Post. We popped into the Fan Park to grab a killer boere roll...and another beer or two..and to check out the obligatory portaloos which were surprisingly still in a fairly sanitary condition. Di, Ronin, Rob & Jen were also partying at the News Cafe at Suncoast where drinking thru a vuvzela became mandatory.

The atmosphere at the game was amazing - as was the stadium itself. And we had lots to cheer as Germany beat the Ozzies with a convincing 4-0 victory. The 8 pints we had (by now) consumed meant that the stagger back up the hill is a pretty hazy memory. But stopping at Billy's for more beer seemed like a good idea at the time. Kath & I deserted the boys and attempted to get home without a key. Funnily enough, Benedicta either didn't hear us ringing the doorbell, or was hiding under the bed in fright, scarred for life from her last 'robbery in progress/armed response' sleepover (see Hermann's 40th b'day for further details). This meant that the call of the killer boere had to be answered behind the big pile of builders sand standing outside next door's building site....much like a gigantic pile of cat litter.... I'm not proud, but secretly very pleased, its revenge for the theft of my Scotland flag!!!!
