What a day!

The best laid plans of mice and men... Wow, what an adventure, we started out in Water Fall, SA at the Dieners house and set out for Mozambique to drop of Luke the Diener's son at a friends house then the idea was to continue on to Swaziland for the pastors conference. Now, this entailed crossing a border with all the paperwork etc. Little did we know that when we crossed over the next part of our journey would be done on a sandy track instead of a road. Opps an extra 4 hours of being bumped, and jostled and having our bones rattled. Then at the end the GPS, aka Zelda, told us that we had to cross over water on a ferry. Not a huge WA ST Ferry, but a small boat big enough only for about 10 cars. It was so fun to watch the walk on passengers, laughing, visiting and carrying on. Once across, in Maputo, Mozambique, we finally found the Dieners friend's apt and left off Luke for a visit while we proceeded to the border again hoping to cross over into Swaziland and on to our lodgings for the night. Upon arriving at 10PM we were kindly informed by a border guard that it was closed at 8PM. Your kidding right? Who knew! Just across the border 1 1/2 hours more was food, shower and a nice bed. Not to be had this night, so we back tracked and found a casino with a hotel. What an irony, headed for a pastor's conference and ending up at a casino for the night. Then we were informed that the restaurant was closed at, guess when, 8 PM. Luckily I had a back up of Peanut M and M's...
