By now every football fan world wide has seen the contreversial hand ball that knocked Ireland out of the World Cup 2010.

QE2 to anchor permanently in Cape Town?

Yet another one of Dubai’s major developers, Nakheel, is feeling the crunch.

The owner of the famed Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise liner paid nearly 60 million € in 2007 for the iconic vessel and had been hoping to turn it into a luxury floating hotel off the Palm Jumeirah island off the coast of Dubai.

Now, there are possible plans to move it from Dubai and anchor it permanently off of Cape Town, possible even in time for next summer’s World Cup, which will be hosted in South Africa.

Business Day, a South African business magazine, reported on July 10 that the decision to berth the QE2 would be taken soon.

"She said the development of the cruise liner market for Cape Town was a priority, but a distinction needed to be made between a cruise liner that brought in additional visitors on pre-paid tours and a floating hotel that could potentially take away business from existing establishments." - Business Day

Top 10 winter activities in Cape Town you haven't thought of!

Chris Edington
Cape Town weather in winter is influenced by the movement of cold fronts and polar depressions to the south which generate stormy gusty conditions and gale force northerly winds. Heavy soaking rain is often a characteristic of these conditions. In the past our winter season was a lot colder and wetter, but the effect of the ongoing climatic change cycle on the weather in recent years has meant that winters have become milder, and Cape Town often experiences sunny and pleasant winter days. Such conditions are ideal for travellers who choose to visit the Cape during the generally less crowded 'off' season in Spring and from April when transport and accommodation is cheaper, and general expenses less. The winter months June - August provide Cape Town weather conditions ranging from dry and warm to wet and cold. Temperatures generally range from 2 – 20°c and Capetonians experience short days with late sunrises and early sunsets.
Shark Diving

1 With Shark Cage Diving being most popular in the winter months, and having the best chances of seeing a shark in this period, its a definate must for this winter! Shark Cage Diving is one of the most popular and sought after experiences that Cape Town has to offer. With all diving apparatus included in the fee and no prior diving experience required, this unique experience is open to anyone. The dive will bring you into one on one contact with the Great White Shark, with only a reinforced cage seperating you from this magnificent creature.
