Uruguay v France in Cape Town |
26 May 2010 |
(there are only 2 spots left for hot air ballooning on Saturday morning, and only 2 left on the very rare evening sunset hot air ballooning trip...subject to little wind - both at the Hartbeespoort Dam).
Uruguay play France in a Fifa World Cup match in Cape Town's opening match on the 11th June 2010 (Uruguay, France and Mexico are in the same group as South Africa, so the result of this match is important for Bafana Bafana's chances of getting through to the second round). But the travel prices are so cheap one wouldn't guess the Cup is on - here are the best flight, car rental (from R164/day) and accommodation prices (from R135/night) that we could find.
