First stop today was the Rugby Stadium located in Newlands, we saw the museum and glimpsed into the stadium, it was closed to the public. We were then given a tour of the Sports Science Institute of South Africa. The facility was amazing, they had top of the line equipment to cater to every ones needs. We went on the Cricket grounds also, not too interesting, considering I know nothing about the sport. It was in a great location, cute little restaurants and mountains in the background.
We also sat through a lecture about the Two Oceans Marathon and Cycle Tour. The marketing manager, Stefanie Schultzen, did an excellent job of informing us about the "world's most beautiful marathon." David Bellairs, the force behind the Cape Argus Cycle Tour also gave a very informational session.
We ended the day with going to the Fan Fest in attempt to experience the opening events of the first major event in South Africa. We managed to see a parade, not as elaborate as American parades, maybe because it was last minute. We were then scrutinized for not wanting to drink, so we broke off on our own and waiting two hours for the bus. At this point, I do not feel like there is any group, we are just broken into little mini-groups. Hopefully this will turn around after or before Rocklands Camp, where we will be leading kids...so excited!!!
