Tired and had enogh driving so walking was the order of the day. Just a 3 km drive got us to Okere falls and a nice scenic reserve with interesting if steep paths from an early hydro electic installation past major torrents and much white water. Steep steps down to caves right by water edge. So much rain recently that the river was more spectacular than normal. Bit of shopping in the local store and back for a rest. Set off in pouring rain to the city to watch the match with a bit of atmosphere we hoped. Found some fuel just before we ran out and got to the convention centre just as it opened at 6:30, no massive queues so went off to find food and stumbled across "eat street", a pedestrianised area full of restaurants. Chose one with specials on the board and had a very nice meal of pepper steak and pork chop with bread and dips to start and a very odd brulee to finish. Back to the fanzone for the rugby and discovered it was a very large hall with tables, chairs, bean bags and a vast section of tiered seating. All pretty empty and the sound system was overpowering and difficult to hear. Most seemed to be supporting Wales. At half time we decided to retire back to the apartment and watch there. What a shame for Wales, the papers say France is the worst ever team to reach a RWC final
