The stadium, Moses Mohiba Stadium might be the most beautiful stadium I've ever seen (and I've seen an awful lot of them. The 'handle' that runs across the top has a tram you can ride to the top where you can get out and walk around a small viewing platform. Apparently you can bungee jump from there too!
The game was excellent - and I'm very happy to see Spain win, especially because they are the only team left in my bracket :-(
Getting home was a challenge. The airport in Durban, King Shaka International has never had a busier day, compounded by an unexpectedly large influx of private jets (including ours). It was so busy that our plane had to fly 6 minutes away to a mothballed air field because King Shaka ran out of space on the tarmac. That meant our plane had to wait for a slot to fly back and pick us up. We ended up leaving about 3 hours late, departing Durban at 4:30am and returning us to the hotel by 7am, 20 hours after we left. Thank goodness the plane was super comfy.
