We drove down from Kruger park into Swaziland. Nice little country. While we were there we stayed at an old run down colonial hotel, complete with an old run down colonial in the bar. It was very strange chatting with him. He had done some very cool things in his life and helped us with getting our driving plans straight. We are now going to go through the Kalihari desert to get to Windhoek as it is a lot faster - more risky, but also more fun.
The hard part about talking with him though was that he referred to blacks as monkeys and whites as humans. He even said the Klu Klux Klan had the "right idea". It was hard to listen to that bollocks, but it is part and parcel of being in this place. Kath helped to make the point that we don't really think like that and I think the guy kinda got it.
Swaziland - pretty
