At that time, I also had some very positive things to say about our hosts for the 2010 World Cup and I wanted to share that side of the coin as well, because it is equally important. <br /> <br /> To say that I have been blown away at the hospitality South Africa has shown the rest of the world would be an understatement. I think back on recent Olympics and struggle to remember much reporting in the USA of athletes from other countries. I remember when a Togolese guy won a bronze medal in kayaking and NBC reported it and I thought to myself, "where are all the other fascinating stories like this one...like the Jamaican bobsledding team." In today's America, sadly, we have drifted so far towards being so US-centric that we only seem to root for the Americans. <br /> <br /> Not so here in South Africa. I've been here since early May and each week I have become more and more impressed with the global embrace that South Africans have offered up to the world. On the way to the airport a couple of weeks ago, I heard a radio program that said each day they would focus on one country that would be coming to South Africa for the World Cup, and they would explore not only that sport's history in soccer, but also their politics, religion, and socio-cultural practices. On the television, I've seen numerous programs that focus on a particular country and it's history of soccer and how the history of that country is intertwined with their soccer history. I've seen programs on India, exploring why India enjoys soccer but hasn't really excelled at the global level... yet. And I've seen shows on soccer in Muslim countries. Maybe it's planned, maybe it's unplanned, maybe it's by chance, but it is happening. It's not just about South Africans showing off their varied and multifaceted culture to their global guests, it's also about using this opportunity to educate South Africa on the rest of Planet Earth's inhabitants. <br /> <br /> As I moved through my work here in the provinces over the last six weeks, I had a pivotal meeting with the Board members of a rural NGO. They were explaining their guiding program philosophy of Ubuntu. No, not the Linux program. I'm talking about the traditional African philosophy of Ubuntu that essentially says, "No man is an island." <br /> <br /> I found a better explanation from Wikipedia: <br /> <br /> Archbishop Desmond Tutu further explained Ubuntu in 2008: <br /> <br /> One of the sayings in our country is Ubuntu - the essence of being human. Ubuntu speaks particularly about the fact that you can't exist as a human being in isolation. It speaks about our interconnectedness. You can't be human all by yourself, and when you have this quality -- Ubuntu -- you are known for your generosity. <br /> <br /> We think of ourselves far too frequently as just individuals, separated from one another, whereas you are connected and what you do affects the whole world. When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity. <br /> <br /> To me, Ubuntu is the acceptance of others as parts of the sum total of each of us. And that is exactly what I have experienced during the lead up to, and the initial days of this World Cup. There is nary a South African citizen that I've met on the street, or in shops or restaurants or hotels, that hasn't gone out of their way to greet me and make me feel like I am home. And I don't mean that in the trivial, "Oh, aren't they nice, homey people here... " sort of way. I mean real, genuine interest and questions. People seriously want to know where I come from. What it's like where I live. How does it compare to where I am now. What do I think of South Africa. Oh yes, and what do I think of Bafana Bafana... The questions and conversations are in earnest. They are honest. And they are had with enthusiasm and a thirst to know more. South Africans are drinking deeply from the cup of humanity that has been brought to their doorstep. I would never imagine that an American World Cup or Olympics would ever be this welcoming to the rest of the world. And that saddens me for the state of my home country, but it also makes me feel the pride of the South African people. <br /> <br /> I have been truly humbled on this trip. And while I have my gripes regarding development here, I cannot say one negative thing about how South Africa has handled its duties as host and hostess to the world. If I could say one thing to sum up being here during this once-in-a-lifetime experience, it would be that I've learned the value of Ubuntu, and that when found and offered in abundance, the world is indeed a better place to live in. <br /> <br /> So, if South Africa accomplishes nothing more on the playing field, it will still have won as a host country. I am a cynic, no doubt about that. And yet I have to admit, I'm a little teary just writing this because I leave for home next weekend and I will be leaving a little piece of myself here in South Africa. I just hope I have learned enough to bring back a little piece of Ubuntu to my homeland, where perhaps with a little caring and a little water, it will take root as naturally as it does here, in the cradle of civilization. It's funny, many people in America still ask me, "are the people in Africa very primitive?" Yes, I know, amazing someone could ask that but they do. And when they do, I usually explain that living in a mud hut does not make one primitive, however, allowing kids to sell drugs to other kids and engage in drive-by killings -- isn't that primitive behavior? I think it is. When I think of Ubuntu and my recent experiences here, I think America has much to learn from Africa in general, in terms of living as a larger village; and as human beings who are all interconnected with each other, each of us having an affect on our brothers and sisters. <br /> <br /> As the 2010 Cup slogan goes, "Feel it. It is here." Well, I have felt it, because I am here. Thank you South Africa, for giving me this unexpected gift. I am humbled.Trevor Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637408331027770933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613414984883677661.post-68302749066979185382009-12-31T09:03:00.000-08:002009-12-31T09:04:15.217-08:00On the recommendation of a work colleague I spent two weeks with a friend here in Dec 2009. It came highly recommended,and this was fully justified.The accommodation is located in an area of Cape Town called The Gardens. There are fantastic views of Table Mountain from the road in which the guest house lies. The area is discretely but reassuringly well patrolled by Security,and we never once felt unsafe strolling about late into the evening. The guest house was very tranquil and relaxing, yet you are within walking distance of the splendid Government Gardens or the buzzing nightlife of Long Street with its great live bands.The owners Trevor and Liz are absolutely fantastic hosts,and we felt like we were staying with family rather than business people. Breakfast was served in the garden and was a mountain of home made freshly prepared food- traditional and exotic fruits,muesli,bread rolls, yoghurts and juices. They were very attentive without ever being intrusive ,and were very knowledgable about the city they so clearly adore and are so proud of.The owners obviously get enormous satisfaction from seeing their guests have a good time,and this is reflected in their warmth and delight when they hear of the many good days you have had. As well as the many fantastic attractions on the doorstep,they're also happy for you to mooch around the garden to chill and enjoy the sunshine and seem genuinely happy to socialise with you at these times also.In summary there's not one negative thing to say about this place- it's absolutely fantastic.<br /><br />Mike LipkaTrevor Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637408331027770933noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613414984883677661.post-30444947197174455302009-12-04T06:24:00.001-08:002009-12-04T06:24:59.872-08:00Any travelers arriving in Cape Town can't go wrong if they choose 15 Welgemeend Street. Liz and Trevor are hosts beyond compare, and take the B and B experience to another level. They anticipate your every wish for comfort and enjoyment in this marvellous city. Liz's flair for design and attention to detail are evident throughout the house. The delicious, and healthful, breakfasts are Trevor's forte. But it doesn't stop there - expect extra services like transportation , and provision of a cell phone to stay in touch. We can't recommend this accommodation highly enough. If you have something like this available, don't even think of a hotel.Trevor Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637408331027770933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613414984883677661.post-12531612024949596562009-02-06T22:21:00.000-08:002009-02-06T22:22:54.712-08:00Cape Town City Bowl<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSQ1OkZj1YboespzI5V4FnRfdmQ3dZTSNx5JjKfWRWncyuNVkHcIybjAFwAdtVMMIR7bW14cL6Y3vw9Ao7Wg-ToOTE9V_aTVv1r5Lg0m72yeIpyVDau7gIwxYdOLiafcj6AxfUtL1MfB4/s1600-h/City+bowl.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299936952048168290" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 344px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuSQ1OkZj1YboespzI5V4FnRfdmQ3dZTSNx5JjKfWRWncyuNVkHcIybjAFwAdtVMMIR7bW14cL6Y3vw9Ao7Wg-ToOTE9V_aTVv1r5Lg0m72yeIpyVDau7gIwxYdOLiafcj6AxfUtL1MfB4/s400/City+bowl.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Trevor Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637408331027770933noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613414984883677661.post-14765176004472713952009-02-05T09:20:00.000-08:002009-02-05T09:23:43.499-08:00FROM ITALY WITH LOVEFrom: ZOPPINI CRISTIAN [mailto:czoppini@gigroup.it] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 1:06 AMTo: Trevor WilkinsSubject: Hello<br /><br /><br />Dear Trevor & Liz,<br /><br />We are fine but we are working very hard because of in this period (the first 3 months of the year) the Lucy’s office has new clients and a lot of activities.

Beautiful decorated rooms, started the day with a delicious breakfast (home made muesli, jam ,croissants, fresh fruit and orange juice) while Trevor and Liz advised us the best options for the coming days and provided us with cellulars to make domestic calls.<br /> Gardens area is the best location to discover CPT. Long street with restaurants and live music within walking distance.Within 20min taxi ride you are at Camps bay/Clifton beach. Start your stay with a bus-hop tour to get acquainted with the city and surroundings.<br />Other must include Tafelberg at sunset with 50% discount, concert on sunday at Kirtenbosch beautiful gardens, shopping at Waterfront (incl ferry to Robben island, book online in advance!) or Green market.<br />It was peak season and car rentals were sold out, this was the best thing that cld hv happened to us. We were 4 and Trevor offered us to take us on a private tour, one day Cape point and False Bay, the second one through the Winelands incl short township visit. The experience was so personal and unique that we have developed a really strong bond with this charming couple which will last forever.<br />Thanks for this wonderful time and tot ziens!<br />David Pablos<br />(Netherlands)Trevor Wilkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04637408331027770933noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613414984883677661.post-62148701551747600582008-12-02T20:13:00.000-08:002008-12-02T20:14:31.610-08:00Dear Liz and Trevor;<br />At last I find the time to send you a message and warm greetings. We returned home on November 12th after a wonderful journey through Namibia, Botswana and Zambia. We were so lucky to actually see 4 out of the "BIG FIVE" in Etosha National Park. I love Namibia, what a fascinating emptiness of sand, stone and desert.<br />Of course most important I would like to express again my sincere thanks to you both for your extraodinary hospitality. You certainly know how to make a stranger welcome. Your help, concern and caring was what one would expect of a friend, but you simply took us "drifters" under your able "wing" and opened your home and hearts to us. Liz, your eye for detail, colour and necessity made our wing a charming place to be. Your breakfasts were superp, healthy, delicious and matched with the very good coffee simply a "happening". Trevor, I decidedly enjoyed chatting with you about your wonderful and very successful hobby of photography and sailing in general. Thank's again for the drive in the rain to our early G.A.P. departure.<br />If and when I return to Cape Town I hope to spend more time with you in your beautiful manor.<br />P.S.

KIRSTENBOSCH GARDENS should be high on your list. Sunday evening is concert time in the gardens. Be there at 16h00.<br /><br /><strong>WINELANDS<br /></strong>This is a full day adventure ….or can be a half day trip<br />Stellenbosch is such a beautiful town!<br /><br /><strong>THE TOWNSHIPS<br /></strong>For many a must to experience how a huge part of our community live, with the richness of their culture, music and crafts.<br /><br /><strong>THE V&A WATERFRONT<br />ROBBEN ISLAND<br /></strong>The Robben Island trips are usually fully booked so we suggest you make this reservation before your arrival.<br />Use this link<br />http://www.robben-island.org.za<br /><br /><strong>THE BEACHES—CLIFTON CAMPS BAY<br /></strong>Bring your bikini—this is the place to chill out!<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">What To Do in 1, 2 or 3 Days</span><br /></span></strong>Unfortunately, you can’t always spend as much time as you’d like in our awesome city. Here are some tips on what we would do if we had only ...<br /><strong>DAY ONE</strong><br />Catch the open-top double Decker Cape Town City Sightseeing Bus and enjoy a guided Hop-on Hop-off Bus tour of the city. There are 17 stops to choose from.<br />Hop off for a quick cable car ride up world renowned Table Mountain and be inspired by the breath-taking views from the top.<br />Visit the District Six Museum and immerse yourself in the memories of what was one of Cape Town’s most colorful communities before its residents where subjected to forced removals during the Apartheid era.<br />Stop to shop, have a bite to eat or explore the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront<br />Begin your evening with sundowners on the Camps Bay strip, followed by dinner at one of the city’s award winning restaurants and end off by catching some live local music on Long Street in the City Centre.<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY TWO</strong><br />Head south along the scenic Chapman’s Peak drive and then on to Cape Point, part of the Table Mountain National Park and home to an abundance of flora and fauna. A funicular ride to the point and a guided walk with the resident baboons is a must. Better still walk up to the Light house.<br />Make your next stop at Boulders Beach, Simon’s Town, home to one of the few land-based penguin colonies in the world.<br />Take a break at Kalk Bay harbor, enjoy fresh-off-the-boat seafood, followed by a stroll along the quaint cobbled streets and some antique hunting.<br />Not to be missed is Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, the first botanical garden in the world to be established in (1913) to protect local flora. Its lawns are ideal for picnics.<br /><br /><br /><strong>DAY THREE</strong><br />Begin the day with a boat trip to and guided tour of the World Heritage Site, Robben Island, where former South African president Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Today former political prisoners act as your guides to this remarkable experience.<br />Wondering about township life in Cape Town? Take a guided tour to our vibrant and colorful township communities; meet the people, taste the food, feast your eyes on the array of handcrafts and be inspired.<br />No trip to Cape Town is complete without a visit to our picturesque Winelands. Choose one of the wine-producing areas and sample a mouth- watering selection of fine Cape wines, cheeses, chocolates and olives.<br />Spend the evening savoring your last moments in Cape Town over a traditional Cape Malay meal in the Bo Kaap, with the city lights laid out in front of you and the plans for your next trip spread around you!<br /><br /><br /><strong>SOME CONSIDERATIONS<br /></strong><br /><strong>STELLENBOSCH / WINELANDS / FRANSCHOEK<br /></strong><br />We strongly suggest an early morning start….breakfast at 07h45 ready to leave at 08h30.<br />Take the N1 turning off to Stellenbosch on the R304<br />Visits<br />The University Town of Stellenbosch<br />The four houses in the Central town which have been so carefully restored…...near Church Street.<br />Dorp Street with its stunning old Cape Dutch Architecture<br />Simonsberg Cheese Shop…...stock up for a picnic lunch<br />Rustenberg wine estate—Just off the HellsHoogte Road<br />This is a MUST—allow 1 hour to enjoy the wines and the magnificent gardens. No Big tourist buses allowed!<br />Over the Hellshhoogte pass stopping on the way down at the Hillcrest Berry Farm on your LEFT. Mmmmm Lekker coffee, view and cheese cake.<br />Boschendal—just to give you an insight into the life style on farms in the good old days.<br />On to Franschoek...The “Little Switzerland” Park and walk the main street—a treat.<br />Try some Schnapps tasting at Chamonix—careful.<br />Past the Huguenot Monument and up the steep pass...stopping at the summit to drink in the view.<br />Down towards Villiersdorp a small country town….then over the next pass to Grabou...the Apple country. Take a LEFT to Hermanus then follow the map thro Betty's Bay following the coast back to Gordon’s Bay.<br />Follow the N2 back home<br /><br />There are many restaurants in Franschoek perhaps the two most famous are Ruben’s and La Petite Ferme. But you have your cheeses and breads ++ so think of a picnic somewhere en route!<br /><br /><strong>Mobile phone<br /></strong>On your arrival we will provide you with a local mobile phone which has a few useful numbers.<br />This is free but you will need to purchase airtime<br />Africa Room number +27799835958<br />Prince Albert Room number +27791717713<br /><br /><br /><strong>To Do’s</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>BOOK YOUR VISIT TO ROBBEN ISLAND</strong>-<br /><br />YOU WILL NEED YOUR CREDIT CARD AND PASSPORT DETAILS TO HAND<br /><a href="http://www.robben-island.org.za/">http://www.robben-island.org.za/</a><br /><br /><br /><strong>BOOK YOUR HIRE CAR<br /></strong><br />AVIS, HERTZ, BUDGET ALL HAVE OFFICES IN CAPE TOWN.
