The squad was invited to a Gala dinner on Wednesday night to mark the climax of the tour. With guests from both our defeated opponents present along with local dignities, the formalities of the evening were hosted by rugby legend, 2005 Rugby World Cup winning coach Morne du Plessis who chatted with Martin Jol and the Spurs coaches throughout the evening. Before the dinner, the squad had taken time to meet with a group of thirty young children form Ekurhuleni based children’s homes. The youngsters had spent the afternoon enjoying themselves watching magic shows and football videos, but the highlight of their day came when the Spurs squad presented each child with a goodie bag containing, amongst other things, a Spurs baseball cap and a poster of White Hart Lane and as the children opened their gifts, the lads were only too happy to sign autographs and pose for photos. It was then a 6am start for almost the whole party, who took the opportunity of making the 50-minute short-hop flight to visit a game reserve. It was a thrilling experience for all and we were lucky enough to get up close to four of the 'big five' sightings - leopard, lions, elephants and hippos. The lions were a little dosile having recently made the kill of a giraffe and were not looking the most mobile. Looking at the size of their bellies as they were lying on their backs, digestion was going to be something of a lengthy process. Jermain Defoe was questioning the guide as to the speed of each particular wild animal - mostly to work out how he would get on in a race against them! On Friday it was back to training at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, roughly a 45-minute transfer from our hotel in Johannesburg. The squad were put through their paces in an extended session before Martin Jol and Dimitar Berbatov faced the media at Vodaworld, home of tournament sponsors Vodacom. At the end of the briefing, Martin was presented with a Vu Vu Zela by Pirates supporter and did have a bash at extracting sound from what is a sort of long horn. There was a further training session in the afternoon and now it is down to the last game of what has been a memorable tour. The aim from the game against Orlando Pirates is to become the first team to take the Vodacom Challenge trophy out of Africa. ============================================================================== 这趟欢乐的南非行 在周三晚上的餐会上达到最高峰 餐会的主人是05年Rugby World Cup冠军教练Morne du Plessis 他和Martin Jol两人相谈甚欢 餐会之前热刺见了三十位小朋友 小朋友们下午看了魔术秀,足球影片等等的节目 热刺球员来到之後现场 发放礼物包 里面有热刺的帽子,巷子的海报 最後球员帮小朋友签名和小朋友合影留念 小朋友都很高兴 餐会在六点举行 我们利用了短暂的50分钟参观了自然保护区 对大家来说这都是一个很棒的经验 很幸运的大家看到了五大动物中的四种 - 狮子 大象 河马 豹 Defoe问了导游关於动物速度的问题 他说要怎麽样才能有跟他们一样的速度 周五Jol和BB会见媒体 其他人则先行训练 记者会结束的时候 Jol收到了Pirates球迷的礼物 该礼物请见最後一张图 最後一场的目标是以最强阵容出战Pirates http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-6.jpg JJ超像腼腆的大学生 XD http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-11.jpg BB 旁边的是!? http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-13.jpg Pascal 非常亲切 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-15.jpg Bent耍帅 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-17.jpg JJ很酷喔 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-19.jpg BB没戴眼镜 不是全套 http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/images/articles/5472-21.jpg Jol的礼物 XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD -- 太欢乐了!! 比起去年的法国泛舟感觉更欢乐 -- レーツェル 「フッ、我らに…」 ゼンガー 「断てぬものなし…！」 --
