The number of Europeans in the forum is rising daily. I also come from the South.....South of Europe. Greetings from Spain, it's still summer here, went to the beach over the weekend and looking ahead for my next plunge on Saturday
South Africa is about the same time zone as continental Europe, I guess with the exception of winter in the Northern Hemisphere when we are 1 hour behind SA.
I have been to South Africa at least 7 or 8 times and always enjoy it. Lovely people, beautiful country, good food & weather...and for us it's quiet cheap.
I have travelled all over the country and looking forward for my next visit in 2012.....I will have two business associates from South Africa visiting me in Spain next week and in October.....
