Further update on World Cup 2010!

Well it went from nothing to great success with the tickets.  The second batch I put in had some technical issue, so I had to resubmit my request a few days later, at which point the games available had changed.  Well it turns out that wasn't a bad thing.  As I put in a request for five more games for the three of us, and very unexpectedly was granted all three games, wow!  I can tell, Andy, Adam and myself are now very excited for something taking place more than a year away.  I do still have one disappointment, which is I didn't get any games in Capetown, where the two people I actually know in South Africa live!  So our travel schedule is going to be a little hectic moving back and forth between Rustenburg, Johannesburg and Durban.  I think we'll rent a car and share the driving between the locations, although one drive will involve getting from Johannesburg to Durban over night, and I really have no knowledge of South Africa and how feasible that is, how the roads are etc.

So if you have experience with South Africa, and are willing to share advice, hints and tips on getting around, where to stay etc. please feel free to share, the three of us would really appreciate it.  Here's a little picture that lays out our rough travel agenda.

Hi
I live In Johannesburg
Driving fron JHB to Rustenburg is going to be a breeze about two hours , The roads are some off the best in the world from JHB to DBN takes about six hours driving at a average speed of 120KM/phr plenty of excellent refreshment stops along the way .
During this time off the year its winter in South Africa Traveling overnight from JHB to DBN can get quite chilly averaging -2 Degree Celsius in some spots along the route
Feel free to ask advice on any thing else you would like to know about SA
