Sunday 6th September: It’s amazing that someone knows so much history of their home town. On our way to Port Elizabeth the home of Cadbury Chocolate, our tour guide shows us the chocolate making factory and I can already fell the taste of melting chocolate in my mouth. As we drive to Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, she tells us about the history of the Xhosa people and the three ‘click’ sounds in this language.
Port Elizabeth has a rich history. Some of the stories make sad hearing but our tour guide says many other beautiful things about this town, like the pyramid built in memory of Elizabeth. She narrates that a lot of young lovers often sit at the bench in front of the pyramid but few of them know the powerful love story behind it.
We reach Nelson Mandela Bay stadium after 17:30hrs. I worry that I will fill dizzy going to level five of the stadium. Level five is the highest point of the stadium. Even if, I don’t come to 2010’s world cup, I am satisfied that I stepped foot at Nelson Mandela Bay stadium. I can still taste melting chocolate in my mouth.
