2010 Soccer World Cup South Africa Bloemfontein Fun in the sun If you are going to Bloemfontein to watch the 2010 Football World Cup, expect to find the friendliest bunch of enthusiastic sports fans. And this is what any sports fan is looking for: someone to share a pint with watching a game of your favorite sport. They call this province the Free State, and really, you are free to mingle in the vast array of drinking spots in the City. At first glance the area looks flat and uninteresting, but the people of Bloemfontein make up for what the surrounds lack. Although the true meaning of the place is "Flower fountain" a magnificent rose garden in spring and summer! Accommodation is easy: there are zillions of home stay options available to tourists, and at ridiculously low prices. This is a true reflection of the saying that competition is good. And on top of it all you get to meet the locals ! Getting there is a short hop on a plane from Johannesburg, and there you also save with low priced options. It is a good idea to hire a car and explore the farmlands: neighboring Lesotho offers hiking, pony trekking and a touch of true African culture. To the west the diamond fields of bygone days are to be found in Kimberley. For football enthusiasts the fact that everyone knows everyone means that you will definitely gel with you fellow fans, and your team will be on hand to watch and talk to at practice and after the match. Its like this in Bloemfontein, things are just normal, everyone is just normal. It makes a change from the big cities where everyone is a number and life is a rush with no time to smell the roses!
