What were the temps like?....Winter there now?
It is winter here yes, During the day a max of about 18 degrees Celsius on a sunny day at midday... but mostly around 12 degrees at day time
at night it would drop to 3 degrees and about 3 am in morning around -1 or -2 degrees Celsius. So pretty cold for African terms
