If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Swaziland: Parts 3 & 4

So after in country travel and a little rest, off to Mozambique.....crossing the border from Botswana to South Africa for the 4th time, we, Jan and I and all the people crossing at the same time, had an unprecedented 31/2 hour delay! We were told that the staff was exercising a 'work stoppage because they didn't get water that morning'.......but I digress. First stop, Maputo, the capital....

 

At the crafts market

These look like aliens to me


On to Tofo and Fatima's on the beautiful Indian Ocean

 

On a dowhl,
we visit two very different islands and on the way see flamingos and a plethora of sea stars



 
 
The King, Chief and I negotiate the terms for me to become wife number three, 20 Euros....no internet, no toilet in the house that would have been mine, no deal!




 
 


From Mozambique to The Kingdom of Swaziland
 


Hot Damn!!






Talk about a woody!
