Quick shot of the river... sorry about the bridge
I know that this sounds bad, but I am an American football fan and will be in Cape Town during the conference playoffs of the NFL. The team I support looks like it will be in it, and I would like to watch the game. Does anyone know of a sports bar in the Western Cape (preferably Cape Town CBD) area that shows American football and would likely show the game?
You may find that asking in a few of the hostels may help. I don't know how well your going to make out with that one though. Good luck!
My husband has the same issue when we were in Cape Town last year for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, ESPN in South Africa covers very little American football and the games were usually on in the middle of the night. He was not able to watch any games while we were there- but he did catch some good rugby and cricket.
i'm moving to durban with my boyfriend next week and having the same problem...although the packers are out :( we're still gonna watch...have you found anywhere that's showing the game?
i guess we're just gonna try and make friends who have dstv with espn really quick...i'm sure they've gotta at least show the superbowl on there!!
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are well worth a day or half day. We went in Feb. when most flowers were past their prime, but it was still a great day. There is a large collectin of sculptures as well as a mind-boggling variety of plants. Many cool shady areas to break the heat of the day.
The annual Argus / Pick n Pay cycle tour (simply known as the "Argus") is the worlds largest individually timed sporting event attracting some 38000 entrants annually. It certainly is an event for all, whether you are a novice or a professional.
A certain amount of fitness is required and entrants are categorised according to their experience.
The event is held on the second Sunday in March each year and attracts participants from all corners of the globe.
Its origin can be traced back to 1978 when only 525 cyclists started the race (446 finished) known as the "Big Ride - In", aimed at creating awareness for the necessity for cycle paths.
The name was changed to "The Argus cycle tour" when a local newspaper took over sponsorship Your bicycle or anything pedal powered with wheels, brakes and a saddle!
The V&A Waterfront offer a huge selection of shops for buying inexpensive quality items, either to bring home as momentos or gifts. You will love it here. Animal skins, crafts, diamonds, Ouma's rusks!!!!
The best way to go to Windhoek from Capetown is this wonderful modern bus, many miles above the average african standards. You have to check-in your luggage, that goes in a little van behind the main bus. Once inside, you have stewardesses offering you drinks, blankets and "plane-like" facilities.
It takes nearly 19 hours to arrive. There's no train alternative.
On the way, the bus stops every 3 hours or so during daytime. Leaves CapeTown at noon and arrives in Windhoek at 6-7 am next day.
