We have arrived at Dom’s ‘flat’ which is actually bigger than our house.Suffice to say that it seems like the whole of South Africa are so excited about the World Cup, and everyone you talk to wants it to be a great advert for their nation. So far the vibe is very good.

We are currently on the roof terrace in bright sunshine and all we can hear is Vuvuzelas, thousands of ’em. Bafana Bafana (the South AfrIcan football team) are parading through Johannesburg today to get their supporters hyped up even more.

Just by way of a tribute to this Rainbow Nation, I thought I would bring my T-shirts in rainbow colours. Ok I am missing a yellow one, but you get the point.

Paul Patterson, or anyone who knows him, tell him his car is waiting for him at Joburg airport. Please.

Can’t tell you how the atmosphere is here. It is like a scene from National Lampoon. Germans in Lederhosen, Argentinians in tracksuits, Chileans, Paraguayans, Spanish, Mexicans (fousands of em) and Slovenians just looking lost. This has got a Japan 02 feel to it already.

So here we are in Johannesberg, 8.30am and the place is packed with English and Mexicans (my third team). Once we hit our digs we will get the blog up for the day. This is it, the excitement is building. Like Christmas as a kid.
