about as far south as it gets!!!
i travel africa for a living selling pumps , have spent 8 weeks out of SA this year , i now have enough air miles to fly to the UK for free!!!
may leave it for your summer next , dont think your winter will do it for me - anything below 15'c is considered cold down here
