yeah, i've seen this link. I was more interested in trying to find someone more personally involved so that I can find a team to play for when I move there.
Until your question prompted me to look it up, I was not aware of any baseball played in Cape Town (or Africa for that matter). Softball is played here on a very small scale. The big bat-and-ball game is cricket.
Hi Adam. I am not expert on South Africa but I have visited there twice. I would be surprised if they play baseball there. Cricket is the game and it's not easy for us North Americans to understand. When I was there is Nov/Dec. there was a big cricket match going on and apparently they can last up to five days. I tried to watch but didn't have a clue.
I did alittle research and found that they have alot of basebal in cape town, nothing like the states of course, but all of the national players from the South African team that was in the world baseball classic on tv last year.. are all from cape town and play in the leagues there.
The teams unfortunately do not have websites, so its hard to find contact information for the coaches on these teams
www.gumtree.co.za has an ad as follows:
"If you would like to play baseball in Cape Town come and Join Athlone Athletics Baseball Club. Several Teams available from Under 10s to Seniour Level. Contact Sean Campbell on 084 858 3344 or scampbell2@fnb.co.za for practise details and more information."
Very Good! Thank you!
When dining out, check that service charge has not already been added to your bill. If not you should add between 10 - 20% of total bill as a tip. Taxi drivers usually get about 10% of the fare, porters up to R10 per bag and pump attendents at filling stations around R5. Unofficial car guards you give around R5 depending on how long they looked after your car.
They say Hermanus is the place to go to watch whales... the weather's got to be just right for them to come in to the bay though... the day I was there there weren't any but it is a beautiful village. They say if you've got a house in Hermanus you've made it!!!
Changing cash in Cape Town.
Money can be changed at any commercial bank and opening hours are from 9am til 3.30pm during the week and large banks open on Saturday mornings too.Remember to keep the reciepts you are given when changing money as you need to show them to convert them into rand when you leave.
Quay Four is situated on the V & A Waterfront, in the heart of Cape Town.
We were extremely lucky with the weather, as it was more than warm enough to sit outside. The food was superb!
They have a live "one man" band, - he plays the older pop songs, which I found really enjoyable.
Sitting outside with the lights twinkling like a fairyland and glistening on the dark water, with seagulls flying overhead, was a truly sublime experience! I had the seafood platter for one - and got a taste of everything, prawns, calamari, mussels, line fish. It was superbly cooked and our waitress Melinda was a delight.
This ultra-chic and trendy café-ristorante-sushi bar at the V&A Waterfront is the perfect place for a relaxed afternoon snack. Impeccable service, comfortable chairs and a great location for people-watching, what else do you need? And don't worry, it might be uber-chic, but the prices are more than reasonable. Delicious Japanese Seafood-Sashimi salad (44 Rand).
Very good beef carpaccio (44 R), and last but not least the best strawberry milkshake i've ever had.
