Just some of the pictures
of the Fifa Soccer 2010 Games experienced here at the guest
house.
It was said “be careful of the soccer hooligans and
mainly The English coming” and many guest house owners
had their minds made up that they would rather remain closed
during this time to avoid their homes being destroyed but
this was so far from the truth here at A Little Paradise.

We had absolutely stunning,
respectable and amazingly wonderful guests coming from
England, Germany, Slovania, Finland, Ireland, America, just
to name but a few.
My English group, Adam and the pack who stayed for three
weeks became like family and yes the family miss you all.
And to all the ladies in their life’s, you ought to be proud
of them, they were well behaved in every possible way. |

On July 11, 2010,
moments before the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final
between Spain and the Netherlands,
Jimmy Jump rushed onto the field and
attempted to place one of his signature red caps
on the World Cup trophy before being apprehended
by several security guards. He was ordered to
pay a R2000 (roughly $290) fine for the
incident. |
