Yesterday saw us travel down to Port Elizabeth after an early start with an official farewell from the Headmaster at Bryanston High. The boys seemed to enjoy their billeting experience and had many tales to tell. The hospitality of the school staff, students and parents was second to none.
We travelled to Jo'burg airport via Ellis Stadium - scene of the famous 438 one day cricket score. The bus driver was quick to remind us who won that match! Once in Port Elizabeth the boys had a rigorous training session on the beach right in front of our hotel, before a swim in the ocean. Dinner was at the beautiful beachside Boardwalk complex which the boys described as 'like Venice' - complete with fairy lights and canals. Today will be a rest day of sorts after an early morning training run with time to laze at the beach and go shopping!
