"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? — it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."
- The lovely Jack Kerouac
Swaziland has the misfortune of being one of those countries best known for scaling tragic statistics ranks.
It has the lowest life expectancy of any country in the world (31 years) and the highest HIV/aids rate (25 percent of the population).
Swaziland's landscape is stunning. The bright orange dirt that paves most of the roads sticks to everything that surrounds it, painting whole bushes and trees the same color.
Here is some of what I saw and did along the way:
Horseback ridding through the grasslands
The beehive camps where we slept
A whole city of cliff-side birds nests
Back to Maputo
