Mozambique baby!

Today we have arrived in mozambique after 4 days in Szaziland ive found i quite like border crossings despite how long they can take from SA to Swaziland was easy as pie get out of truck walk in get stamped out of SA get back on truck drive into limbo get out of truck get stamped into Swaziland and Bobs your uncle! today Mozambique was just as easy but took alot longer there were forms to fill in and photos to be taken and money to be paid i look like a bit of a Dorcus Lane with a funny sideways half smile (we were not allowed to smile this made me desperatly want to smile!) also i moved a little so the top of my head got cut off haha!...
So what did we do in swaziland (this is the super quick run through i have 14 minutes left and counting and sorry to anyone on fb i havnt answered it wouldnt load i wasted 4 minutes on it arghhhh next internet i will reply) first day we spent roaming craft markets where i got some friggin choice African print pants which with my new sewing skills (and some help from Jeanne i made into wicked awesome cutoffs with a drawstring)...i did however split the crotch doing some Swazi dancing they are al mended now and i have also half told you about the Swazi dancers we went to wacth! we spent 1 night in Mlilwane national park where you can go on walikning Safaris we went out with a guide in the afternoon and learnt all there is to know about dung and then the next morning on our lonesomes following the "hippo" trail which actually took us rather to close to some crocidiles arggghhh!but it was fun! the next two days we spent in the Shewele (hope i spelt that right) mountains staying at a comminity project the orphan school there Ayibuyembeleko orphan school is sponsered by Truro college small world huh! we visited the school and a comminty project and also went to one of the homesteads for some locally brewed beer and had an awesome game of football against the locals we had 11 players they had 7 it was a draw yeah baby i kicked the ball twice! me and LP both played bare feet so have sore toesies! he also cut his head open heading the ball with sunglasses on and b roke his sunglasses which was sad times! i have to go now before i die of nervousness that my time runs out! peace!....
