Well so far - wow. What an experience! I am experiencing so many new things at once. I am so glad that I am keeping a journal of things we are doing, otherwise I would never remember.
We have ridden horses in the mountains of Swaziland with zebra and wildabeasts. We have walked on the beach of the Indian Ocean (twice - once in St. Lucia and once in Durban). The waves are huge and the sand is so fine and glorious to walk in. We have hunted for lion in the Hluhluwe Game reserve. (We didn't find any - but we did see elephants, baboons, white and black rhino, water buffalo and so much more.) We have ridden a mini-bus (kumbi) smashed in with 15 other people in a van made for 12. Everyone travels like that. We have cruised for hippo and crocodiles. We have visited a city of 3 million people and seen American movies in the theater.
The extremes here are crazy! You can walk drive through this city and see what makes me think of any city in America and then see poverty so extreme you would think you have traveled back in time a hundred years. I hope to have caught this in my photos - which take too long to load.
Tomorrow we leave the city (thank goodness - its expensive). We are headed to Drakensburg. An area north of here and into Lesotho. I am exctied to get back to the country. Tonight we are enjoying the "good life" at the Hilton (courtesy of Tiffany's membership points)! So, I am off to enjoy a really hot shower!
