Help needed! I'm going to Lion Country

Now you are going to argue traveling to Mexico is safe?

Are you arguing that traveling in Mexico is so extremely dangerous that no one should do it?

Traveling in many parts of Mexico is as safe as traveling in many parts of the US. Traveling in some parts of Mexico is as unsafe as traveling in some parts of the US.

Just because a country has a high crime rate overall doesn’t mean parts of it can’t be visited in safety if reasonable precautions are taken. A trip to South Africa doesn’t call for the extreme fearfulness and timidity that you express.

Have you ever been outside the US (or your home country, if it isn’t the US)?

The second option is to take a train from Diep River station (here), which is about 750 metres (say half a mile) from Caxton Manor, from which trains run to Cape Town station in the city centre; trains will be free on match days to ticket holders. The scheduled time for the journey is 35 minutes. Generally speaking, trains to the city stop at Platform 1, i.e. on the west side of the tracks. (Timetables are here; Diep River is on the “Cape Town-Wynberg-Simon’s Town” line.) From Cape Town station, you can either walk to the stadium, or the short distance to the Civic Centre bus station and take a shuttle. For returning after the match you’d want to catch a train with destination “Fish Hoek” or “Simon’s Town”; the electronic noticeboards will show the platform number.
