UK - England & Scotland
We have been fortunate enough to have had a couple of wonderful overseas holidays. Our most recent holiday was to the United Kingdom in June 2006. That particular summer was when London and surrounding areas experienced a heat wave, but needless to say us South Africans were used to that type of heat.
