eTurboNews reports that South Africa has a serious glut of hotel rooms in the wake of all the building that went on prior to World Cup. I'm assuming that this is giving rise to some great deals. If you've been following this, let us know.

After being irritated by the vuvuzelas before the World Cup - I actually loved them when at a game - continued to blow mine with pride throughout the World Cup! Sorry to those of you who don't like them but think most people here will definately be taking them back home with them... but - even if you don't like Vuvuzelas - there is so much me to enjoy in South Africa - and Camps Bay of course. For more economic choices - Hout Bay just around the corner also has great value..and has a working harbour - with boats going out and GREAt restaurants as well.! contact us for Villas and apartments if required.... info@zippingzebra.com
