Notes from the Cape

Day 170: Cape Town Stadium on match day, originally uploaded by Craig is shooting.

This picture of Cape Town Stadium was taken about 7 hours before the kickoff of the match between Germany and Argentina.

I was spoiled to a helicopter trip over Cape Town by Lois and my dad for my birthday, and we were very lucky to be able to fly almost directly over the stadium.

I don’t know how we managed to fly over a FIFA stadium on match day, but I am not going to complain :-)

So this is what the inside of the stadium looks when it is empty (I have finally seen the inside of a stadium). I think it is a stunning building. Here is a more detailed view.

Look out for more photos of my trip in the next few days.

By the way, Germany won the match 4-0.
