In between games, we travelled to Nottingham, through the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors and up to Newcastle for the SA vs Scotland game at St James' Park on Saturday 3rd October. Mylene, Coenraad, Eva and Coemy joined us at the campsite. Newcastle is a great little city, revamped and revitalised with plenty of nightlife. We met before the game at the Blond Barrel and ended up there afterwards too. The good Bok win meant we could breathe a little easier. On Sunday we dashed down to Peterborough to Rina and Menon's place for a reunion and to celebrate Nikki's birthday. On Wednesday 7th October we drove to Harpenden, parked up Homer and travelled into the Olympic Stadium with Coenraad and Coemy to see the last of the pool games for the Bokke; SA vs USA. It was great to see our team get a convincing win (64 - 0) for a change; filling both the team and the fans with confidence for the Quarters. On 8th , we took Homer back to Europe on the ferry, making it back to Germany in time for the wonderful SA wine tasting party at Peggy and Gary's. By Monday 12th, we were on a plane back to London; the Homer 2015 oddessy over.
