When we arrived at the Cape Town airport from Durban, it was absolutely chaotic..we weren't sure why but quickly figured out why when we saw a bunch of huge, athletic-looking guys dressed in green and yellow. It was their national rugby team flying in for their Cape Town victory parade after just winning the Rugby World Cup against their rivals, New Zealand. There were camera crews everywhere, police and security covering the airport, and thousands of people lined throughout the airport main terminal and exits ready to greet their favorite athletes. It was WILD!


The following day was the victory parade which was right downtown where we were staying, the city was buzzing and everyone was so excited to be out and about celebrating their national team. It was amazing to see the love and passion people had for the team!
