Vacation 2009- Swaziland




Swaziland is a tiny landlocked kingdom which is surrounded by South Africa and one side to Mozambique. Many people come here scenery, water sports, land sports and national parks. Laiyane had stomach flu, and the receptist told us there is one doctor in entire country and he doesn't like people calling!? Ever complicated border control burocracy takes three steps in different buildings(Physically there wasn't even a fence between the borders, and anyone can probably easily walk through, like the goats and the cows we saw doing.) We lined up for all these procedures but we were never told about the last step, which is the goods control. At border gate, we were told to go back to the second building, take the sleeping kids out of the car again to show their face, and line up for half an hour to get a piece of paper stamped. Then, the border control told us to just do it right next time. I guess when the rules are too complicated, can't be respected afterall. The next day, we walked through a forest to find a waterfall as it was indicated on the road sign, and we never found it, so we just enjoyed the walk.

  1. It is sometimes complicated to travel but what wonders there are to see and enjoy. Maybe the waterfall had dried up?
