Holiday in South Africa with Bridge?

I received the following e-mail if anybody is interested: -

Dear Terry, I found your website whilst planning our trip to the Far East. My husband and I are bridge players, I would say intermediate level. We are both in our 50's and have just got our son married off this week so we are off travelling. We will be travelling through India, Far East and Australia and Japan.

 We were wondering if any of your members may be interested in hosting us, with a view to returning to us in Cape Town South Africa.

My husband and I were both born in Nairobi, Kenya, emigrated to UK where we have lived and brought up two boys. Three years ago we moved to Cape Town to a warmer climate and an outdoor life. We play bridge at the Pinelands Club and Sea Point (Atlantic Seaboard) club in Cape Town.

Please let me know if you have any members who would like to host us for a couple of weeks or so and we would be happy to return the favour.

 Kind Regards, Kirn and Vipin Jethwa, kvj1721@gmail.com
