This blog came about in view of the South Africa WC 2010 trip. Now I have plans to turn it into my travelogue. I figured it will be too hasslesome to maintain a blog for every trip I make. Because it was inspired by the african trip, I'm keeping the blog add as it is, at least for now. :)

Ellis Park Stadium

Joburg - outside Ellis Park Stadium

We didn't manage to sneak into the stadium itself for a pic or two, but it seemed as if it is still undergoing renovation, rather than one that has hosted a couple of WC games. Nonetheless, we took in the sights and still felt great to be there!

More pizzas

I believe I have not had so many pizzas within 2 weeks at any other point of my life before. But I must say these calories were worth it. When we ordered, we chose the cafe special or the one named after the place we were at. Can't go too wrong!

Cafe Cappucino Spéciale Pizza

This cafe was at East Rand Mall, near the Or Tambo airport. There was a Nike factory outlet but it was closed by the time we reached there at 7pm. :( In fact, most of the shops were closed. Luckily there was seafood pizza, hansa & castle beer to save the night.

The Melrose Arch Pizza

This thin crust chicken + avocado pizza was 4 thumbs up! It was the sauce that did it. Definitely not the usual tomato base. Helmed by two angmohs, this restaurant was double storey and had full glass windows. I sat inside, away from the cold and watched the Ghana team being celebrated on live stage. Pure bliss.

Best in Joburg

Before we sent Rubin & YY off to the airport, we decided to have lunch at Cresta Mall.

We didn't see the award before we went in. The food was indeed good with generous servings of ingredients, at least for my calamari pasta. Fish was fresh and succulent.

Honestly, all the food we consumed in ZA had been yummy, nothing to complain about. We are missing the cheap & good food there!
