Day 2

24 hours of travel and a short period of acclimatisation at the Breakwater Hotel in the Victoria and Alfred Water Front the boys quickly got into their training schedule at the Hamilton Seapoint RUFC ground with a beautiful backdrop of Table Mountain and surrounding mountains. In the evening the tour party visited the V&A Waterfront and savoured the local cuisine and culture. It was here that we discivered how far our Rand could go. For 100 Rand the boys could eat like kings, the typical meal being a 500gm steak and chips, sweet and a coke with some change. Not bad for £7.50 in an expensive tourist area.
