Songs With Birthday In The Title

Back home ...

So, now I'm already quite a while back at home. Unfortunately, my internet is not working lately, so only now something new from me.

To my stay here to get South Africa to an end, nor my / our last days:

Having experienced a Monday, as has been reported at the Cape of Good Hope, were we visited the next day Cape Town. I have indeed seen the most, but not Andrea! Others were in Bo-Kaap, wos are many colorful buildings in the Company's Garden, nem garden in the middle of the city, and on Greenmarket Square, nem large souvenir market.






Then we went up to Table Mountain. But no ... not with the cable car. That yes, any! We have run high! Have for the path that was specified at 2.5 h, needed only 1.5 hours! Was pretty tiring, but great. Now I can say finally, I was up (the first time I'm driving up the cable car). Because I believe it was only on Table Mountain, if you are also running high! Then have seen the sunset from the top and are the last cable car back down. It was really great!







The next day we spent mostly at the Waterfront, yet little shopping and enjoy the sun!
evening we went with those who were still left Bißle farewell party went. were all the more not many.










On the last day we had great weather again, so we leave the course, please do not necessarily easier. Still, the last shopping done and spent the rest of the day in the garden.






On Friday wars come: The return flight was on! Are broken up by four in the morning because we had to make car and our flight was actually started at 7:45. Actually! Due to fog we are unfortunately let loose with 4 (!) Hours late.
This was nothing out of the World Cup opening game, as we landed only at 23.oo Clock in Frankfurt. But the pilot informed us at least over the result!

So, that's so with my time in South Africa. I learned a lot, seen a lot, met many new people and had lots of fun!
The country is really beautiful, I can only recommend anyone to go there go there or to go on vacation! I'll mainly South Africa and Cape Town still small at first miss for a while and will definitely be there again, probably later than 2010, since there is the World Cup in South Africa.

In this sense ... that's it!
Hope you all had fun on my side and it was at least somewhat interesting. For me she is now the same as a travel diary, so that has been worth all the effort the same twice.
So, does well, we'll see you ...

Warum Fußballmuffel keine Che Guevaras sind...

Cup in their own country. The time to make Heinz, Erna and Bodo, a German dachshund.
state of emergency. Party atmosphere. All of Germany is busy. All of Germany? No!
A few people can afford bitter resistance. By they all merchandising stuff and still not vote protest by the TV fails or is only "natural channel" or "Phoenix" watched.

But what moves them to isolate itself by celebrating the football community?
be happy to specify these reasons:

- commercialization , fans are being exploited by obsessive nationalism, since they have tons of Fanartikel thrown at her feet.

- World Cup is not a German World Cup but a American World Cup . coca cola and MCD are the main sponsors, not German.

- Everything else is pushed into the background.

- politicians are artificially placed misuse patriotism for their own purposes.

far, so good. Sounds nice and of course the very alternative. And that one wants to be last. No hangers-on, which can devour as one of many of the bööööösen snake named football, but one who sits in his Birkenstock sandals on the balcony and a good drink even pressed grape juice, the wonderful nature enjoys ... well away from all the hustle and celebratory mood.

A few good reasons to muffle against football, I have this time together:

1) It is a major event on home soil. football fans from around the world after Germany and the World Cup will be one of the largest cultural events. In many cities there are big parties, mixed with German and foreign entertainment. Brazilian dance nights, American Cheerleader, German (well, Bavarian) leather pants and associations Schuhplattler, oriental music and and and ...
During the World Cup, Germany is a melting pot of nations, and which makes even the most narrow-minded German farmers are something cosmopolitan and hospitable. My
Father has brought a jersey of Brazil and my mother raves about the French. Although I find horrible: D but oh well ...

2) World Cup brings profit. Contrary to pessimistic expectations of all the World Cup to boost the German economy. Even the expensive stadiums and Other expenses for security, etc. can not change much. Whether there will be a net gain in the World Cup, no one can say beforehand. That the labor market and the economy benefit in general, that's for sure.

My advice to all who want to escape such commercialization: Searches you like-minded people and start a revolution. Defeat Capitalism. But falls ihr all das nicht vorhaben solltet, kann man die strikte Verweigerung des WM-Konsums nur müde belächeln. Ihr lebt in einem kapitalistischen Land und steuert mit eurem Leben tagtäglich dazu bei. Da hilft es wenig, sich gegen Großereignisse wie die WM zu sperren. Die Wirtschaftsbosse stört das kein bisschen.

3) WM macht Spaß. Ob man nun Fußballfan ist, oder nicht. Das gesellige Beisammensein im eigenen Garten bei Bier und Würstchen ist einfach schön. Man hat Gesprächsstoff und amüsiert sich über die Engländer, feiert zusammen Poldi & Schweini und verwettet sein Geld auf das beste Team.
Viele Leute mögen den Patriotismus nicht, us to be inoculated because of the World Cup. These times this: You need not join in ... but who forces you to? Just because you have a flag at the World Cup car that does not mean that you think nationalistic. SchwarzRotGold for the next month, the color of the sport. I wear usually the lack of Germany for the World Cup circuit ... but I bought one. Not to express my German pride, but to celebrate with friends. And the dress makes in SchwarzRotGold just more fun:)


You have to be an expert to be carried away by the atmosphere. But you may need to come out from his compulsive denial. You do not have national pride, but may have to come down from his pseudo-alternative rail.
reminds me again and again to people who refuse RockamRing example with the words: . "This is too much I hate mainstream commercial music." then I tell them: "thinking about it Schonmal, the alternative has become itself a brand word"
They want to distance themselves and act as many thousands of others. Mission failed, I would say;)

CheGuevara you are not, you are nunmal Germany ...

A brief explanation yet: I have with my criticism is not based on football muffle who find the sport stupid in itself. Who does not like football, which has at least one good reason to leave the TV. (And yes, it will be enough for a possible evening with friends still ...)

On Monday morning we Sebastian then taken to the airport to five half!

then are we to the penguins to Simon's Town. Since I was indeed so, but not Andrea. This time, fortunately not warn again as many tourists as there last time, but more penguins.






Are We then in glorious weather at the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point and then along the Chapman's Peak Drive, one of the (apparently) the most beautiful coastal roads in the world, to Camps Bay, for sunset look.




Here are some impressions of our day:













course I learned again what:
penguins are funny , tourism get back the VAT on everything they take home and English can be quite embarrassing.

In this sense ... if you could keep penguins as pets: I had one!

On the second day in the Tsitsikamma National Park we went to nem waterfall. Even the way there was a small adventure, since one had to climb more than walking. The approximately 3-hour trek was worth it, in any case, we have been rewarded with a beautiful waterfall! "Sleeping

we wanted in the car, but since the too cold and uncomfortable now, we're moved to NEN laundry at the campsite. That was actually not really cozy, but we went for some wine glasses somehow. can

We have also seen how easy our crack Toyota, because we so have our keys in the car and leave all the doors were closed. But luckily us a native of Johannesburg staff has helped the park ...

On Wednesday it was ready: SAFARI was on the program. see with the aim of the 'Big Five', went into the Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth. Apart from a few gabs elephant like this aber leider nichts zu sehen. Dafuer aber viele Warthogs (Art Wildschweine), Zebras, Kudus, Antilopen etc. und ne tolle Landschaft!

Danach starteten wir dann unsere Nachtfahrt nach Pretoria. Mit Halt in Grahamstown (X-Men 3) fuhren wir die Nacht ueber ca. 1.200 km nach Pretoria, wo wir am Donnerstag morgen um 10.00 ankamen. Haben dort zuerst mal bisschen die Stadt angeschaut, dann die Union Buildings (Regierungsgebaeude) und schliesslich, aus Frust ueber die nicht-gesehenen 'Big Five', den Zoo. Dort waren sie dann alle: Elefant, Nashorn, Bueffel, Loewe, Leopard. Zaehlt aber eigentlich nicht!

Am Freitag sind wir dann nach Pilanesberg in nen National Park, auch mit dem Ziel, wenigstens noch einige der 'Big Five' zu . See Were not disappointed, having seen alongside elephants and buffalo and a rhinoceros. Missing two ... Thats has also ne giraffe herd, many zebras, hippos, kudu, antelope, etc. And again ne nice landscape!

Finally, we planned to go to Johannesburg, of which we were advised, however, several most urgent. Was too dangerous, especially at weekends. If you only visit as possible with NEM guide!

Do we then decided to visit the nearby Sterkfontein Caves, the second oldest caves where human fossils ever found. And since we had not yet seen any lions, then we are still in the Rhino & Lion Park, which you can take a ride with his own car. And there they were, real, live and in full size: LOEWEN! Thats has also par rhinos, cheetahs, Zebra, kudu, etc. Unfortunately, no leopards!

Learned I of course again a lot during our trip:

The brain of an ostrich is smaller than its eye, in South African bathrooms are no sockets, Japanese will lebensmuede, just a good photo of nem rhino to and zebras are just getting any funny horse.

Trip # 2 Trip # 1

So, yesterday after 9 days, 3,400 km driving, and plenty of sunshine returned from our trip around South Africa back! Our trip led us from Cape Town along the coast and finally to the north-east of the country in the capital Pretoria and Johannesburg with plane back to Cape Town.

But first things first:

Last Saturday we went with our black, sports, going from AVIS rented Toyota 'TAZZ' from Cape Town. After a few stops along the coast (including Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa ", where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean,! See photo) was our first stop of Mossel Bay. Besides precious old trees and beautiful beaches gabs post there to see but not very much, the highlight was probably our accommodation, an old railway wagon! Something different ...

Sebastian Besides I have twice defeated in the pool!

was actually our black Toyota at the start, but there are streets that deserve the term 'road' not at all. Only dirt, potholes and Wasserpfuetzen! Accordingly, our car then looked out on the first day already!






The next day, then were the Cango Caves (old Tropfsteinhoehlen) and ne ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn on the program. In the evening we went to the next backpacker to Knysna, has to offer except mini-Ner to Cape Town's Waterfront, a model is not very much. Cape Town's experienced as we could but not very impressive ...

Montags fuhren wir zuerst ins Monkeyland, nem grossen, eingezaeuhnten Wald, wo ganz viele verschiedene Affen wohnen, die frueher mal in Kaefigen lebten, Drehorgel spielten etc. und nun in Freiheit leben duerfen!

Danach fuhren wir dann wohl zum Highlight unserer Tour, in den Tsitsikamma National Park. Wollten dort eigentlich nur einen Tag bleiben, die Landschaft dort hat uns aber so ueberwaeltigt, dass wir nen zweiten Tag anhaengen mussten. Am ersten Tag sind wir zu nem Aussichtspunkt gewandert mit Blick auf eine unglaublich tolle Landschaft. Hier ein paar Eindruecke:

Den Rest unsrer Reise gibts dann morgen, oder uebermorgen... Hab jetzt keine Zeit mehr.

Bis denn...
