I hate the pace we are going at now, but it cannot be helped - we still need to complete data collection in South Africa and Madagascar before Vova goes to the US to write his portion of the book and we stay behind to meet with him again in Ethiopia two months later.
We swung through Swaziland - a surprisingly developed country considering the only piece of news I remember hearing about it was that of King Mswati kidnapping a local girl during the annual reed dance ceremony when he was supposed to choose yet another wife.
Zigzagging to and from South Africa's east coast (KwaZulu-Natal province), we are either in the highlands or underwater. Diving here hasn't impressed me much yet. The visibility is better, but with the absence of manta rays and whale sharks the eye itches for something more then just spiky-tailed surgeonfish and psychedelic nudibranchs. If you think I'm spoiled, you are absolutely right.
