Hi Han & Ben, great that your travels are going well! I've just caught up with everything since I wasn't getting through to the blog via the emails. Phil & Jill put me right yesterday so I've just been having a look at the beautiful photos. Wonderful scenery! - but that backpack looks big, Han!! Hope all continues to go well. Lots of love, Megan & the girls xxx

Hi Han and Ben, Just looked at the photos for the first time. With football and dancing, seashore and roots rediscovering, We can almost smell the air and feel the current! Go well, adventurers! Dad and Mum xxx

Hi there, D and I love your photos and they are bringing back so many memories. Some even made me cry....just a little! The ones of you and the football coaches/managers are simply wonderful ben and speak volumes about you and the Swazi people - you must have inherited their happy, peaceful nature. Hannah, I have a photo of me at 24 dancing with the women exactly like you except I think I have a coke can in my hand and if I can ever find my photos in the garage I will see if I can scan it to you. I remember just how I felt and how magical it was to me. I do hope that my directions to the house got you there - so difficult when the roads don't have names! Looking forward to reading all about it. Love and hugs from Swazi M and D xx
Hi Ben and Hannah - here is a link to a map of Mbabane. the clinic is on Mkhonubovu Road, off Sololo Road which is south of the MR3. It is in the south of Mbabane up on the hill.
Olivia at home this weekend with Shingles poor thing and looks very poorly so feeding her vitamins by the cartload. Biking and hiking sounds lovely and I bet you are seeing some fabulous countryside. D has just won 3 squash matches 9-0 so is thoroughly thrilled with his 'awesomeness'!! xx M/J

Oh good grief - 'jumping off bridges' - please either don't do this or don't tell me! D and I are spending all the tokens we got from the restaurant in Marlow and so every Sunday we are going out for lunch. We sat with the papers, a drink and then food and felt like those couples who go out and don't talk to each other! It was all very civilised, however and we were quite happy. Knysna I remeber as beautiful and we also stayed in Plettenburg Bay which was also lovely. Love to you both Big hugs xxM/J

Aaaw little sis! Thanks for your message but sorry to read about your drudgery. Although, tbh, it's no surprise I guess as that's exactly why we're here-to get away from it all! I really can picture you here. We went canoeing this morning and jumping off bridges into the river. Quite a way to sped your Sunday morning. Two new blog posts went up yday so hopefully they tell the stories of the past week. Much love from us both. Keep smiling xxx

Bendy/Han...
Your photos are delicious, your blog is a lovely read. Makes me sick as I read it though as I am sat at my desk in my office which smells like stale sandwiches and sweat. My life is the same old London drudgery, so cannot wait to follow in your footsteps and be outta here ASAP!
Missing you lots of course, and glad to hear you're having such a good time.
I will update you with anything exciting that happens in my life...but at the rate it is going, thats not likely!
