The Royal Villas Ezulwini

... without it. These unnatural flows can be unnerving, and for the first time since I don’t know when, I feel lonely, maybe not as bad as LA, but still loneliness, setting in fast like rigor mortis. Where is everybody going? What will they do when they get there? Can I go too? I’m doing exactly what I accuse my Thai wife of doing, getting attached to the passing show, getting attached to the mirror. Does that sound ...

... Finally after two hours of negotiations going nowhere the lads gave in and got off the bus. I felt so sorry for them as they had booked hostels in advance and it meant they were stuck in this random town for an extra 4 days.<br><br>After two more hours of driving we arrived at the Swazi border and after a quick bit of paper work and another hour of driving we arrived to our hostel. We said goodbye to the two faced hypocrites and checked into our hostel. I was feeling a little ...

... to point in the wrong direction. There were 9 of us that eventually reached the summit, and we took turns holding the Swaziland flag (sometimes upside down) for photos. I was glad that I had brought that on the trip, and the meager $5 price I paid for it was totally worth it. The hike was probably about 5 miles round-trip and should&#8217;ve taken less time than it actually did: 2 hours up, 80 minutes back. <br><br>We saw quite a few impalas, blesboks, and zebras ...

... br><br>We had a great breakfast buffet with expansive views of the reserve laid out before us, and a couple of zebra had returned to graze right in front of the restaurant again. Max was excited to show me the video of a zebra he had shot from his chalet (&#8220;I shot a zebra this morning in my pajamas!&#8221;). About half of the group did not go out on a game drive, and I felt like they had missed out a bit. I was hoping that the ...

... has been rehabilitated and is now Swaziland's most frequently visited reserve where you can enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and the wildlife that grace the plains. <br><br>This park you were able to get out of your car, that was interesting! No lions......

... ban on teenagers from having sex for 5 yrs to prevent HIV transmission. Needless to say, he ended that ban early. His next wife he took, the family actually protested and took the King to court b/c they accused him of kidnapping their daughter and marrying her against her will but then dropped the case later. He also tried to spend 45Million dollars to buy a private jet (how much the country budgets for health care for 2 yrs) amongst many other ...

... who is amazingly nice and really knows his stuff. he taught me a lot and was very kind hearted. We come accross this one patient who has been treated for meningitis twice over the past 2 months and then presented with sudden loss of vision and hearing over the past 2 days. His labs studies were all normal so we ordered a CT scan right at that moment. They actually quickly took him for it and about 30 minutes later the results were back. The results were read by a Taiwanese ...

... in the hospital and doing in inpatient medicine is still fresh in my mind as most family docs don't do much hospital medicine after they graduate. i hope this guy doesn't need to go the hospital. he had no symptoms except that he noticed his eyes were yellow and he urinated really yellow. I think he will be just fine. Well interesting time in clinic and i hope you are all well and i have 1 more week here....it will be exciting!! take care, sumeeth

... the park. Saw a giraffe with baby, hyeinas and a massive bull elephant which I thought was going to charge the car. The two cars in front of us reversed and sat back from us. Despite telling Oliver we should do the same, he assured me all was okay so sat preying for him to simply walk passed and not at us. Lucky for us that's exactly what he did. The Afrikaners in the other car drove back passed and congratulated us for sticking it out. Yeah ...

... Trails. Most of the people on the trip were on our bus two days prior. It was great to see them again. We drove for about 45 minutes to reach our departure point. I was a little shocked when I realized that I would be in a two person boat with no guide. Dave and I partnered up. The first rapids were rather easy. However, about halfway through they became a little more difficult. Before we reached the most major rapid, The Little Zambezi, our guide (Biggie) basically told us that ...
