Breakfast we ate,
Leisurely late

It the dining room there was a lot of noise
Due to a well known team of soccer boys.

And the black suited security guards are still everywhere…
And look impressive in what they wear.

Prosperity here is not hidden,
And blacks are nowhere forbidden.

In this world I have seen other places of despair,
That from foreign aid deserve a bigger share.

To South Africa foreign aid seems guaranteed,
Even thought there is no evidence of a dire need.

We boarded the Queen Mary 2 in the afternoon,
Unpacked, ate and had to be ready again soon.

We were exited to start the rest of our trip .
And relax on this beautiful ship.

But first we had to rush …
To get on time to the bus .

To see Cape Town by night.
It was to cold and windy to enjoy the sight.

A decision that had not been very wise,
As it was not worth the price.
