First Time Africa

#6 Rudi , yes it was 'HUMBLE'

Rob, please take note of all of the excellent advice above and reconsider your plans ! 6,500 miles away from home just aint the place to run out of money !!!

Cheers everyone

Looks like i'll just go surfing in Bali for a few months, or maybe go down the Ghana route

Agree with all those who've tried to bring you back down to Earth as to costs. And I'll add one more comment, despite your apparent decision to look for cheaper countries.<blockquote>Quote
<hr>if i spend a bit more time on the beaches/coast<hr></blockquote>If by that you think that's where you'll find lower-cost accommodation, or even sleep on the beach (!), then I'm afraid wrong on both counts.

But don't abandon the idea of South Africa. Save your money, then visit. You won't regret it!
