Barbed Wire Fences and Waterfalls

 So, this weekend we went hiking around Swaziland. (Exact location... unknown? It's not an official path, and it involved climbing under exactly three barbed wire fences and jumping over two locked gates. You know, normal stuff). It was somewhere around Pine Valley, I think, and while I forget where we started, we wound up around Mbuluzi, and swam in the river and slid down the waterfall, which was absolutely wonderful.
 
Anyways! It was absolutely gorgeous, and since I'd be wasting my time trying to describe it, the rest of this post is just going to be pictures. It was a much more "chilled" hike than last weekend's, but it was just as pretty - dare I say prettier?
 
 ^Proof that I didn't just steal pretty pictures from the internet.
 
 ^Because Waterford's teachers are essentially bushmen. This is a math teacher turned trek-master :)
 
^It felt like Lord of the Rings. Plus cows.
 
^These rapids made a pretty good water slide. No joke - we were so skeptical at first, but it worked amazingly well.
 
^Part of the group, chilling in the river at the end. Repping the UK, Tanzania, the States, Norway, Malawi, and Swaziland. Normal life :)
