Thanks to the travel forum I now have a good idea of what I plan to do when I go to Cape Town in April. I keep hearing mixed reports about the weather at this time. Will I be able to spend a little time lazing by the pool in the sunshine, or is is it more likely to be too cool or rainy ?

Thank you both for the info, looks like I will pack a jacket instead of swim shorts !! The weather will still be a lot better than home in Scotland at that time, that's for sure. <BR>Thanks again<BR>Tone

Hi. I have been to South Africa 3 times and I have always ended up in Cape Town. And I gone in March/April. I think I tried the water on &quot;both sides&quot; of Cape Town and to me it seemed like the water on the west side was a lot cooler than on the east side. The pool at the hotel was pretty cold. The beaches along the Garden Route also had some pretty cold water and I guess it was more or less like taking a swim in the cold water on the beaches outside Stavanger in Norway <BR><BR>Anyway...I have posted a couple of travelogues and pictures from my trips to South Africa on my homepage www.gardkarlsen.com. Cape town is a wonderful place.<BR><BR>Regards<BR>Gard
