Swaziland - Piggs Peak

We spent the last few days in northern Swaziland near Piggs Peak. We took a back road there from Mbabane which made it a nice ride, but the roads weren't well marked. The people have been really nice and helpful in Swaziland. Its a beautiful country, without too many backpackers. Its been great camping for the last couple weeks and spending time in the mountains.

Yesterday we rode to Siteki. Its a town near the Mozambique boarder. Today we are going to cross into Mozambique and head towards the coast. Eventually we will try to go to Tofo, which is on the coast north of the capital. It may be difficult to find accommodation because of the holidays, but we have tents so it should work out.

It sounds like the police will be a hassle and we will probably need to bribe them along the way. I may have to buy 3rd party insurance for the motorcycle when I get there. Im a little worried about not having a license disk or international drivers license.

Rob doesn't have a visa and that will probably take a few hours to get. Today will be a long day, but from what I hear the beaches in Mozambique will make it worth it.
