I went and had a shower after that, and got ready to go out to watch the soccer. Iris decided to stay in the house to catch up on sleep, so it was just Becky, Jenny and me. The taxi came three times to take us all, and we went on the last time, along with Martain and another Dutch boy, Ruut. We got to the pub / restaurant, called Zack’s, and the others had waited for us to all come so we could eat together. The place was really nice, and the menu was very extensive, more so than some of the restaurants back home. Not like in Maputo where there are things like ‘butter toast’ on the menu! I had calamari steak with salad and chips, and it was really nice. All of the others’ meals looked great as well. After tea the soccer started, so we stayed at the table and watched a big screen on their wall. It was Germany v Italy, and Jenny and I were going for Germany, or basically whichever team was playing Italy, since Italy got Australia out earlier. At the end of the game it was nil all, so it went into 30 minutes overtime. Twenty-eight minutes into overtime it was still nil all, until Italy managed to score twice in the last minute. It was a pretty exciting ending but really disappointing for us Australians.
Most of the volunteers had piked out towards the end of the game, so it was just Jenny and me, and Martain and Ruut left. We went into a cocktail bar nearby, but then came back to Zach’s and waited to be picked up. We waited for about 45 minutes, then were finally picked up, and got back about 1am. I rang Robin because watching the soccer made me think about him even more, but I had to whisper so as not to wake up the other people in the house, and he couldn’t really hear me.
Now have a look at another awesome blog!
