Back To South Africa
(Written by Mandy)
Everyone once again agreed to rise early to hit the road on our journey back to SA.
After a mean storm last night, the day began hot and once again became a real scorcher.
We left Mabuda Farm in Siteki and on Route passed through Manzini and then through Mbabane.
Here we went on a little bit of an adventure riding around looking for the Candle Craft factory.
After turning here and turning there and U turns, we finally found it.
Very interesting designs of candles, and watching the local guy shape and mould the candles was very
interesting.
we left the candle craft factory heading for the border post, just before the border post we stopped at the
glass factory. WOW, what beautiful things, animals, bowls glasses and more all made from Glass.
After this we arrived at the border post. This time it went better than when we came into swaziland.
Finally through the border post and relieved to be back in SA, we headed for Badplaas.
We arrived to a very very full Badplaas, scouted around for stands, finally found one where we could
all fit on with a tight squeeze.
Being Christmas Eve, we stayed up until Midnight when we did our secret santa and exchanged Fifty Rand gifts. Rassie was made Santa Claus and did a great job making everyone laugh.
