A Loop around Southern Africa – Day 9: Trundling into Eswatini
We left our hotel in Amsterdam at a leisurely nine o’clock, as we did not have much to do for the day. Our plan was to drive to Barberton and follow the educational route through the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains, after which we would drive along the border with Eswatini, cross the border on the road leading to Mbabane, visit the Ngwenya Mines, and check into our hotel at the Ludzidzini Royal Village. We were specifically cautioned not to cross the border at the end of the Barberton Mountain route, where the road was supposed to be awful.
