 For Marc Lurie...
We live in Canada, so we are used to reasonably cool winters. My wife
visited her parents in Port Elizabeth in early August, 2002 and found the
cold weather very uncomfortable. The houses are not built with proper
heating, so when it get cold there is no way to warm up the buildings. You
just have to wear sweaters and coats in he house.
By the time I arrived and we got to Namaqualand the cold wet weather had
resulted in an incredible flower display. We also travelled north to
Kgalagadi NP where the weather was very pleasant, but when we returned to
Port Elizabeth in late September the weather was still not suitable for
beach parties.
