Not much to say
about Pretoria other than we loved our time here! We had never been here
before, firstly because of its reputation which is very unjust, but
secondly because it is Bulls country, Blue Bulls that is! When you are a
Sharks fan it is not advisably to go wandering around Bulls country on
your own! The people we met in Pretoria were great, very friendly and
extremely helpful, even the Bulls fans!
The reason we
came to Pretoria was to see the Tri-Nations clash between South Africa and
the mighty All Blacks at Loftus Versfeld. New Zealand had already won the
Tri-Nations title, but their goal now had to be to finish the tournament
undefeated! They quite impressively won the game, although the Springboks
did start stronger and an upset looked like it could have been on the
cards! Now most rugby games I have been to there tends to be a queue for
the gents, but the ladies is always three times as long! Here there was
no queue for the ladies, but a massive one for the gents, so Angela, who
had consumed several beers by this stage, decided to sneak me into the
Ladies so we didn't have to wait!
After the game at
the Eastwood Tavern we shared another toilet, this time it was a shot
called a "Soweto Toilet!” This is a banana flavoured shot with a shot of
vodka and a shot of Amarula. The banana shot makes it yellow, whilst the
Amarula is brown in colour and congeals! It tastes much better than it
looks! We also got served double B52 shots, as they had run out of small
glasses, but they only charged us for the normal sized ones! |
