As the final act of a wonderful World Cup is upon us, one thing is certain; a new name on the trophy. And a new name on the map. South Africa and Africa in general has been the winner. Let’s hope the best football team wins it tonight. It is sure to be a classic. One of THE best World Cups ever in terms of atmosphere and feeling.

Thanks Brian, this is brilliant. More blogging to do – basically writing up all my notes. If we come to SA again, and we intend to and head to Durban we will be in touch. Would be good to have glass of beer with you!
