As you can imagine, one of us had to try out if the electric fence was on.  Carl lost the toss.  Here is a picture of the result.

PostHeaderIcon Arrival Day in South Africa for World Cup 2010

After all of us getting delayed or routed all around the world, we are safely in our residence in South Africa World Cup 2010 for the next while.  In summary, all of our bags made it on time, the flight was full of people headed to different cities for games and the last 10 hour leg had a large amount of beverage consumption, singing, loud conversations and then passing out.

The residence we were lucky enough to get (many thanks to Brett) is in a great location and we have our own space to spread out and relax.  Our host family has gone beyond expectation already and we look forward to making them lifelong friends.

We are all uploading pictures at a constant rate and some videos as well.  My World Cup 2010 album set is on Flickr.  We are creating a YouTube channel as well.

On the downside , they discovered having three geeks move in to the guest house has immediately strained their Internet connection and promptly got on the phone to get it upped.  We apologize already 🙂

We have arrived in South Africa safe and sound.
