Swaziland

Driving thru Swaziland

6 Oct 09

overcast 65 °F

We were up early this morning to drive to Sodwana Bay and it was a good thing because otherwise I would have missed the Kudu females that came by for a snack.

Genie gave me an apple I got to feed them by hand.
To get to our scuba diving site we had to drive pretty much the length of Swaziland. The border crossings were some of the most confusing and slow I have ever experienced but then again the slow pace is one of the reasons we love Africa so much.

There is really no great announcement welcoming you to Swaziland other than this sign. The country is extremely clean and forces people to drive very slowly but not otherwise that much different that South Africa.
After several hours we arrived in Sodwana and stopped at a grocery store for some braai materials. Lets just say we were different than everyone else in the store. Our digs for the next 3 nights was with Sea Escapes and their lodging. It was a bit rustic but had a bed, shower and braai area which works for us.
We met our dive guide, got equipment and spent the night listening to him work on his boat. Whe were wondering if we were actually going to be diving the next day.
