Not my house ...the guesthouse my wife and kids stayed in from Thursday evening.Due to work I could only join them Saturday morning.

Just to give you an idea .... Double room,bed and breakfast is R600/day.That's US$80.

No, second year in a row lost in the final against the same opposition ... They have the abillity,but the other team just played a more clever game in an evenly matched game.The flyhalf kept the ball before his forwards,to pin us down in our territory.You cannot win f you are not in the oppositions half.
Lesson they learnt out of this one ...........next year they can set the gold medal,as the goal......and enjoy the whole journey too !! Even more than this year !! Like in live its about setting goals and figuring out how to achieve it.

Lost in translation I guess. In America guesthouse = A smaller home on the same grounds as the main house. I think that over there its another term for vacation house, no?

Oh well for $80 a day I'd try to stay there a month because it looks great. I really would love to visit S. Africa some day.(srs)

Guesthouse here is almost like a small hotel,usually converted house in a suburb.Very popular here ...less expensive,better service and more intimate,compared to a hotel.

Yeah, thats what I though after you told me it wasn't your house. Just a different word meaning in our two counties. I learn something new on this board everyday mate and thats why I keep coming back. And if I ever do travel to S. Africa I will try out a nice GuestHouse.

Stiff competition.All schools competing in this event are very strong.The margins are small.
