The view from my "office"

Unfortunately I spent my whole time in the country in bed and the bathroom vomiting and such, but I was surrounded by nature so was still able to grab a few great shots. Went for the further back exit row this time (all economy plane, legroom was tight in 1A on the flight over).

Air Eswatini E135.

You go to some amazing places. Been to many countries on the 6 continents that have countries, but I had to google that one. First time I've heard of it.
 
Aha. I didn't look too closely and I have actually been to Swaziland 🤭 (and Lesotho).

Bought a pair of stunning hand blown glass Giraffes in Swaziland. Pride of place in the souvenir cabinet
The new airport is miles away from everything. It's named after the king... it just so happens to also be only 10km from his compound. Go figure, eh? ;)

As it's my wedding anniversary today and Mrs FB is back at home, I bought her some hand made candles. Yes, she also received some nice flowers today!

My office to SHO (Eswatini). Another country ticked off the list 👍🏻 The candle making was cool, they make some interesting ones!

I was thinking cool! Another country in the world which I haven't heard of even though I'm up to date with current affairs how in the world maybe i've been living in a cave for the last 10 years! Really perplexed but too lazy to Google it until someone mentioned it's Swaziland.

Very fortunate on our evening walk to see some Bioluminescence.

IMG_3274.jpeg

Bioluminescence is a type of marine algae. When disturbed, it causes a chemical reaction and emits light.

In this case just waves lapping at the bank of Cabbage Tree Creek.

It’s was most prominent - and brightest - just downstream of the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club at sunset.

These are all just iPhone photos on the evening walk.

A decent camera and some filters and I’m sure you’d get some excellent shots.

The splash after throwing a rock:

A stunning sight and rather rare in this part of the world aparently.
