The End. Fullstop.
Already I have withdrawal symptoms - together with most South Africans, I bet.
The World Cup is over.
I feel bereft - as if some loved person has left forever.
It has been a phenomenon; an epic. For us.
And for the many visitors, maybe something like discovering a new continent.
The Africa they found here was nothing like the Africa they have heard so many bad things about.
Quite the reverse.
Anyway, my friend Kirsty has written such a fantastic post about this very thing, I am going to shut up and let her do the talking.
Please visit: www.theweaversnest.typepad.com and you'll see what I mean.
In case you're wondering, I will complete "The Romance" -
Really I will.

I just wish it had ended on a better note!
I was so gutted that the Dutch lost that I went to bed in a huff - and refused to watch the award ceremony! ha ha. I can't believe that I feel this way about soccer.
Wow Ness!
I thought I was bad. :-)
I also wanted them to win - that last match was very stressful.
The Dutch seemed to lose their heads a bit - all those yellow cards; all those thrown away opportunities to score.
Such a pity.
Now we are all in recovery: fiding out what life is like post WC.
And I suspect, finding out we have all become soccer enthusiasts!
I know, its so sad :-(
Just still in awe as to what this has done in our country...lets hope it continues :-)
I loved this winter...never felt the cold as much but maybe it is because it's been warm in my heart! The world cup vibe was amazing and I will miss all the socialising, great eats and fun! I am so proudly South African right now! We enjoyed meeting you guys at the Waterfront and thanks for keeping two seats for Andy and I in the restaurant!
