Day 6 Swaziland

A New Adventure
(Written by Mandy)

Last night everyone agreed that we would leave bright and early again, and hit the road
before it got to hot on the road, hahahahaha.....it didn't help.

Let me tell you, it was hot as hell.  And the further we went into Swaziland the hotter it got.
at one stage the temp gauge in the car read something like 38 degrees outside.
Hot as hell....

well going through the Swaziland border was quite an experience.
What a palarva... and at times a bit nerve wrecking.
But after about an hour or so, we finally all got through and on we went.

Finally arriving at our destination, Mabuda Farm Lodge, B&B and Backpackers camp.
To which the group arrived to a nice little surprise, we had arranged to stay in
the backpackers camp tonight, much to the entire group's relieve, as this meant they did not have
to pitch their tents tonight.
They could sleep in the comfort of a room and a comfortable bed for the night.
A nice little break and refresher for everyone.
Well enjoyed by all too.
and also just as well we didnt have to pitch tents, because later in the evening, a real meanish
storm broke out, winds blowing hard, thunder and lightning flashing angrily across the Swazi skies.

Tonights immunity necklace was won by Shaun.
