WORLD CUP DAY 2
The world cup opening ceremony and opening game has come and gone. At the end of the second day of the tournament and five games completed, the world cup is well and truly into its stride. South Korea and Argentina have thus far won their games, the remaining matches ending in draws. Five of the nine stadiums prepared for the World Cup have been used thus far. The main centres, Soccer City, Johannesburg and Cape Town enjoyed a respite from the activities. I visited the Cape Town Fan Fest Park on the Grand Parade. Cape Town weather at this time of the year does not make outdoor activities pleasant. The rain threatened, but stayed away. This would have been a bonus for those who have had to watch the games at the Fan Fest parks. I am sure that the atmosphere on the opening day in the fan fest parks was far more heightened than it was today. The Grand Parade fan fest park can accommodate approximately 15 000 people. Admission to the park is free....
