We've been here for a few days now and it is fab. A really beautiful country full of mountains with lovely people and lots of places to eat ( keeping us happy). We started off in a hideous backpackers, moved to a nicer back packers and are now finally settled in a b and b with lovely views and great breakfast. We have hired a car and are really getting to know down town Mbabane and the surrounding countryside.... actually while we were in the office waiting for the hire car Richard gave me the biggest laugh I have had all trip. He sat there in his light green shorts with his purple socks pulled up to mid-calf coupled with blue shoes, his little brown hat perched on his head ( minus the wet tea towel) and a red and white striped, long sleeved button down shirt, with a collar, commenting on how much he liked the colour of the man behind the desk's tie.....as I muttered in agreement he said in a very serious voice......' I think I might be turning into Gok Wan' :)
Anyway the highlight of my time in Swaziland so far has been meeting up with Sally, my old uni friend. It has been great...we have reminisced, looked at some very disturbing old photos of us, taken during our year abroad and realised that despite the years we haven't seen each other we still have many things in common and still have the same slightly warped sense of humour.
I will post some photos soon.
