| At 12:00, mine was the second car of the day to cross the border. It was not allowed to import fruit,
so I ate and handed out a lot of oranges and mandarins, which broke the ice with the customs officers.
West of the Lebombo Mountains, at the Bamboo Bar in Stegi [now (2006) Siteki, and from
Google search boasting finest climate and paradise for lesbians and gays], I had a beer and steak piri-piri with some pioneer type white women and a salesman. Also read TIME magazine.
Then I took the asphalt road towards Manzini (formerly Bremersdorp) and enjoyed the lovely scenery with small huts and numerous children. |
