hey lieve mensen! Ik wilde iedereen even laten weten, voor het geval je het nog niet wist, dat Ivo vorige week veilig in Swaziland is aangekomen. Volgens hem zijn de mensen er aardig. Natuurlijk was het wel even wennen. Sindsdien heb ik niet meer van hem gehoord, dus het zal wel goed gaan:D groetjes! Lara [View Full Entry]

Day 49 It was at last farewell to South Africa on day 49, as after driving out of Durban and inland for about 500 km we reached the frontier with Swaziland and crossed over. It had been a very early start (we left our campsite at 6) so we reached Swaziland at about 12, stopping once to buy some bread and jam for brunch. The border crossing was easy enough, no visa, just a 50 rand road tax and we were through. There was an unfortunate guy next to us who held both a Zimbabwean and a British Passport and they [View Full Entry]

27 Oct - jump back aboard Priscilla, say farewell to Maputo, the sun is shining again and we cross the border from Mozambique into Swaziland. Stop at Pick n Pay, (yup they have supermarkets in Swaziland!) for essential birthday party supplies such as cake & champagne. ATM swallows my bank card, NOT amused but it gives me a chance to phone home and speak to mum and dad :) We arrive at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary - much more laid back than some of the other parks we've visited. Rolling hills, lush countryside, red dirt roads, purple jacaranda trees and croc / [View Full Entry]

If the bullet enters through the head and combusts in the brain, I see the eyeballs of the impala are squished out of its sockets. If the bullet enters through the eyes, I don't see the eyes at all but a black space in the face. And if the bullet enters at the right part in the back of the brain, I see the brains actually a mess outside of the skull. I met Micky while shooting the clay pigeons the other day, and I didn't know he was being serious about letting us come culling impala with him. Micky is [View Full Entry]

Amy: So what's there to do in Swaziland? Rob: Mmmm... not much really I guess Amy: Uhhmm... OK then Rob: It'll be fun. We'll figure it out when you get here Amy: I guess I'll come tomorrow then A day later I find myself in Big Bend, a small town on the east side of Swaziland in Lebombo, clay-pigeon shooting with some really large bushmen. So I guess Swaziland wasn't really planned until the day before I came. I don't know I will be staying with the really cool Dr. Tim in his house with Rob, his wife, and two kids. [View Full Entry]

So Kinder, diesmal endgueltig ein zumindest vorlaeufig letzter Eintrag aus Afrika! Habe einen kurzen Zwischenstopp in Botswana fuer 2 Tage eingeschoben und dann ging’s ab auf die “International Trade Fair” in Manzini und Mbabane, Swaziland. Ich wollte ja eigentlich von Botswana direkt zurueck nach Kuala Lumpur fliegen um wenigstens noch das Wochenende in KL zu haben bevor es dann nach England/Irland geht, und hab dann nen halben Herzinfarkt bekommen als es dann hiess dass ich vorher nach Swaziland muss. Da mir aber zu 500% zu gesichert wurde dass ich danach dann nach England [View Full Entry]

It's been 2 weeks since the last entry so i've got quite alot to catch up on. I'm actually in Malawi now, arrived today, but more of that later. Following the sports day i splashed out on a night of luxury at a chalet not far from lidwala. Had been feeling rough and wanted the luxury of a bath. The place was gorgeous, a 2 bedroom wood cabin with kitchen, living room and bathroom set amongst woods and horse paddocks. I cooked my dinner over a braai and it turned out much better than my usual efforts at bbqs back home. [View Full Entry]

Leaving Lidwala lodge for a few days. I’m at the end of my pre-booked time here, but I am likely to be back on weekends. Was going to head for Ngwempisi gorge to do some hiking but had to delay as I’m feeling rotten - upset stomach troubles. Thought I’d be ok so went to the inter-ncp sports day organised by john, the sports centre volunteer, to chop veg for the kids’ lunch. Left early to get to Mbabane to extend my visa but felt rotten by the time I got to the lodge so decided to delay everything. Can go [View Full Entry]

I have a little time to write about Sunday’s quad-biking as we had to come back from the project early today. We were picked-up at 8 by a guy called Richard, an outspoken English expat who runs tours by car, bike and hike into the swazi countryside so that visitors can experience the ‘real’ Swaziland. We drove for about 45mins over to the other side of the Ezulwini valley to the mountain range where members of the swazi royal family are buried, also the site of a famous swazi military victory over the rampaging Zulus in the 19th century. That was [View Full Entry]
