Next Stop
The Small Country of Swaziland in Africa!
Okay, I
have to admit…we’ve been spoiled, pampered and waited on for 12 days at Zulu
Nyala. It was a wonderful and unexpected treat while it lasted. However, as we
journey ahead we’re back to being just two backpackers traveling down the road
not over the hill.
Next stop, six
hour long (if we don’t get lost) drive to a small country in Africa called
Swaziland. We’ve been practicing saying ‘SAWUBONA’ which is hello in Swazi to
greet our new friends.
The country
of Swaziland has been around since the fifteen century and has always been
ruled by a King and Queen. I told King Roy
that he may want to step down from his throne temporarily.
While in
Swaziland, we plan to stay in several small villages and experience the culture.
I bought a skirt at a local market to wear there after I was told that without
one, I would have to resort to a table cloth wrapped around my lower body.
Since the
area we are in is far more remote, we will not have internet service to communicate
or update our blog. So Sister Linda, when you do not hear from us please do not
call the American Embassy like you did
last year. We will be just fine!
So, Hama
Kahle Sala Kahle which in Swazi means go
well and stay well until we meet again!
