It's official, South African Airlines is my favorite to fly. Comfortable, great food, I had curried lamb for dinner and an omelet for breakfast, and great entertainment.
I made it to Matsapha International Airport on time and Annette was right outside to pick me up. Customs was a breeze thankfully! We loaded up and I actually remembered to go to the left side of the car. this was my first experience traveling on the "wrong" side of the road. I kept feeling like something was going to hit us head on. There is quite a bit of traffic but there are more people walking. Annette took me by the church to see it and to get Bob.
I FINALLY got to take a shower and wash all the airports off of me!
Annette and I went to the Pick N Pay grocery store and ran a couple of errands then went back to the apartment to get Bob for a walk. I think most of it was uphill.....long hills. I'll get good at this in two weeks time...I hope! Annette fixed a wonderful beef stew for dinner. I stayed up all day my first day here so I was BEAT by 8:30.
Some things learned....
1. The Swazis are very nice people. They laugh at us when we try to speak SiSwati, but appreciate it.
2. Cars and walking people can coexist. It's a bit scary at first, both as a walker and in a car, but you get used to it.
3. I am very blessed...as is everyone that is reading this.
