World Cup Soccer Virtual tour, ScottysGig laments about Scotland not making the World Cup. Cartoons, rants and just sharing the major sites in the cities he travels too. The people he meets along the way and the mode of travel he takes. It is meant to make you chuckle just think it could be your taking the tour. See you in South Africa.
Man! Africa is a real "Cool place" or should I say Hot Spot! Scotty was saying 2 Nash on the Durban Beach as they were trying 2 play a wee keepie up! "WHEN" outta the blue a vision appeared What's that,.. one-two-three beautifull beach bum's courting and cavorting with a friggin Soccer Ball,...and I might add with far more skill's than our 2 weary hero's, Geeeee! Anyhooooo! after a wee bantering with the fair maiden's ahem,ahem?...the dynamic duo was able 2 Ass!ertain that the ladies were soccer players from San Diego California, who were staying with relatives in Durban, till they, and the rest of the Soccer group leave 4 Cape Town, this shot has the ball artist Grace on yer left, and needless 2 say Scotty & Nash called "Amazing Grace", & in the middle Alice who was the leader of the pack, and the one that the girl's said that if U need Anything Cialis! yuk,yuk, ........and last but certainly not least, the energy bunny! Cali, her parents had named her California Summers, hence Cali 4 short, needless 2 say Alice was trying her friggin damnest 2 coax Scotty or Nash into a competition of keepie up with Grace ,unfortunately they both had 2 decline due 2 injury's picked up on the long drive down ahem,ahem, Nash said that due 2 the fact that they had taken secondary roads, they were having back problems, and it was out the Question with the "World Cup" round the freakin corner, 2 put their health into jeopardy, (Phew!). it was amazing 2 talk soccer with the 3 of them, and talk about Scotland and California, it turned out 2 B a great afternoon of relaxing their back's (wink,wink,) and enjoying a different perspective ugh? YES! the conversations got around 2 the Big ONE!......FAQ?...Why! can't Scotland get into the "BigSHOW"???????? and,and, the next Question was if the USA can win the Gold! let me tellya that it was a heated exchange that had the 5 combatants wrapped in passion, it's just whatta pair of Liberal Scot's love 2 partake in, ugh? that and a wee chivallry along the way huh?...that evening!!!!!! the girl's invited the dynamic duo 2 a restaurant so they could meet the rest of the group, and hopefully powder keg a debate, Scotty & Nash duly accepted, Hey! lifes a GIG!...waiting 2 happen!...and we Scot's love 2 make it happen Bro!.
The next few day's ScottyBro and Nash really put the pedal 2 the metal, from Amboseli Park they drove down the coast 2 Dar Es Salaam Tanzania, then it was on 2 Nacala, Beira, then finally Maputo the Capital of Mozambique, this is a shot of our 2 hero's bumping into 3 Aussie Soccer fan's Laura, Sheela, and Haily, they were on there way 2 Cape Town 4 the "BIGSHOW"....FINALLY! it was getting close, the world will have it's eye's and ears tuned 4 3 1/2 weeks in June 2 the "WORLD CUP" and the ladies could not believe that 2 Scot's would B at the show, especially that their team had once again failed 2 make the grade, Scotty and Nash took all the barbs that they threw at them, and duly responded with Scot's R fanatical 4 their team, and we R fan's of the Bootyful GAME!.....and the "Quest" was 2 get some insight as 2 why we don't measure up in the present format, Why "O" Why!.....can't the "TartanArmy" ParteeeeAGAIN! FAQ? it's getting real tough as they close in on Cape Town, the dynamic duo have had second thought's I might add, but Scotty dig's in his heel's, this was the reason 4 making the trip Bro!...Hopefully 2 get some answer's, But also 2 see the game as it's supposed 2 B played, and as they looked around at all the beauty that surrounded them, Nasher reminded Scotty, they were on the right track, look at this gorgeous beach, just what the doctor ordered, peace and tranquility and a lot of positive images 2 lighten the friggin load, ugh? enjoying the city and it's beautiful beaches, rekindled the flame in our hero's, knowing that it was a hop step and jump away, there parting shot 2 the Aussie Babes was, that they would B cheering 4 the AUSSIES! and that hopefully in the fervor that is the World Cup, that hopefully they would bump into them AGAIN!
Here is our 2 hero's defying themselves, we know it's a "Crapshoot" SOMETIMES!.......but ScottyBro was adamant that he was going 2 get the perfect freakin shot regardless hmmmm? they were in a Park that Scotty had seen so many times on the Nature show's on TV, Amboseli National Reserve is a small park, 392 sq. klm. of area, it has well over 50 of the larger Mammal species, and well over 400 species of birds, it's located south east of Nairobi very close 2 the Tanzania border, in 2005 the park was returned 2 the Maasia communities, this is a shot of the dynamic duo lining up the aaaaappprrooaaacchhing BBBULL Elephant with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, theres nothing worse than a Scotchman in heat Nash was saying, FAQ?.......I tellya Bro! it's a lotta Bull! this perfect shot "Thing"....and if we don't get our asses in gear it will KILL-A-MAN-JAR-OH! or TWO YIKES!.
PS. Stay tuned 2 the saga, just maybe they bit off more than they could chew ugh?.
Whatta place! Nairobi get's U in it's cross hairs, and play's with your mind, 2 shoot or not 2 shoot! Scotty was telling Nash that every friggin corner get's U in it's sites, Oh Well! U just have 2 live with it Bro!...and,and "SHOOT" AWAY! yuk,yuk, and the gang back home will appreciate the fact that were paying homage 2 another fighter 4 Independance, just like "Wallace" it was an emotional shoot at the "dedan kimathi statue" when they got 2 Nairobi they got some travel brochures and read up on the sites 2 visit, and they both lit up when they read about his fight in the fifties 4 feedom, one small word that raptures the mind, and engratiates time, and frequently put's your life on the line, and he died 4 his cause, and just like Wallace, Che Guevara, Martin Luther King, the fight will go on, SO! rest in peace my friend, This ones 4 YOU! Bro!......click!click!CLICK!!!!!!
PS. The guy's R ready 4 another site that has them BOTH! in a freakin "Flux".
This is a shot of ScottyBro and Nash looking back at the skyline of Nairobi, believe it or not this park as it's name implies the Nairobi Wildlife Park is right next door 2 this Big Urban sprawl, I tellya it's kind of freaky, just think Bro! out there R animals that would love 2 embrace U, HEY! maybe that's why nobody sleep walks here said Nash! yuk,yuk, this is certainly the place 4 "Fast Food" ugh? Scotty was thinking that maybe a pride of Lion's hanging around the political building's would make a perfect opposition huh?.
PS. This is certainly an incredible City, our hero's R going 2 visit the statue of one of it's great freedom fighters NEXT!.
Amazing! Unbelievable! Magical! Sick! Cool! these R a few of the adjectives that ScottyBro and Nash kept repeating as they walhed around, and around the impressive Black Lion of Judah" statue in central Addis Ababa Ethiopia, Man! they have a lot of statues, but this styalized Lion takes the cake 4 Scotty and Nash, it's certainly different, but it's dynamic pose, and the elongated neck give it an air of .....Who's the Boss! Cool Bro!.....Both our hero's got into a vigorous debate with the merchant's who were selling their wear around the statue, NO! not about do U want 2 buy this, or that, or Anything, Why NO! it was the Ball that lit up their passion, after a wee keepy up with them, they managed through the assistance of tourists, and local's that were glad 2 use there language skills 2 assist in the dialogue of the "World Cup" Answers Tour, it's funny that ScottyBro has been 2 Brasil,France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia,Turkey,Lebanon, Isreal, Egypt, and now Ethiopia and theres alway's a passion in any conversation of Soccer, it definately is a Religion Bro! and this one was no exception, Ethiopia is like Scotland, on the outside looking in, it's going 2 take one helluva jump in change and faith 2 turn back the tide Nash was saying, and the dynamic duo had some ammo 2 take back home with them, Blimey! Some of the merchant's said that we had 2 get back the fighting spirit, Maybe we should play in kilt's, just maybe the tartan would give us a psychologicval BOOST! yuk,yuk, Anyhooo! the general feeling was that the "Premier League " had Killed us, that the Scottish youth were into Computer games and lost in the virtual reality world that is now the scourge of the Western World, and that we need 2 B like the Lion, put your foot down, stick your neck out! B proud! and go 4 the jugular, of course there was alway's the old stand-by , that only Warm Climate team's win the damn thing! JEEE! that get's the blood flowing, and theres nothing worse than a Scotty in heat let me tellya, SHOOT! that would mean that the only chance 4 us to win it was..........................................................."Climate Change" I can hear them back home saying Bring it On, when U think a few thousand year's ago the Sahara Desert used 2 be lush and have lakes and rivers, Hmmmmm? they could B right U know! the dynamic duo R going 2 have a helluva lot of info 2 pass on 2 the SFA when they get back hame Bro!.
PS. would U believe that one of the merchants remembered when Aberdeen won in Europe, and that was no Virtual Reality World let me tellya.
ScottyBro and Nash were looking forward 2 this part of the trip, 2 get back in the Highlands Again!....well the Ethiopian Highlands, and I must they R impressive Bro! they make ours look like foothill's, yuk,yuk, But! the beautiful view's, and, and best of all, the pure air Ahh! it's just what the doctor ordered YO!!!!. Thank god 4 the friggin ugh?.................."Sunroof" Scotty was thinking, without it we would have had 2 stop on every bend, and nook and cranny, Yikes!...this trip would have taken a lifetime without it, Anyhooooooo back 2 the business at hand Bro!, our partners in crime R heading 4 Addis Ababa, the Capital of Ethiopia, and 4 the time being their going 2 soak up the Beautiful mountain air and the freaking "VIEW'S".
