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.

Must be a decent mob as they are the only country in Africa to maintain ties with Taiwan and not Peoples Republic of China.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.

Formerly known as Swaziland.
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?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

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!

Dinoflagellates rule! luciferin-luciferase!Very fortunate on our evening walk to see some Bioluminescence.

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:
