Safe and Sound

Well, I'm back in Swaziland! I successfully made it through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, back to South Africa, and then back to Swaziland!

I have millions of stories, and I'm working on sorting out my pictures and stuff to post about my adventures, but for now, check out a post about my trip (I feel so special!) from the blog of a Peace Corps volunteer I stayed with along the way.

Anyways, I'm safe and sound, back in Swaziland - getting ready for the last term of school this year. It feels strange to be back at school, not to mention staying in the same place for multiple days in a row. You get kind of used to continuously travelling, and now staying but just seems... strange. It's nice, though, after a month of living out of a backpack!

Where in the World is Diana? ZIMBABWE

This post was written in July, and has been automatically set to post in advance. I'm currently on a term break, and am travelling through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.

 

Right about now, I should be in Zimbabwe, which is stuck in there right above South Africa. Here, have Wikipedia's map:

The two major cities are Bulawayo and Harare. I'm staying with a friend for a few days in Bulawayo, and avoiding Harare like the plague, just because it's a big city after a bad election. After that, I'm thinking I might head off to Victoria Falls, which is at that weird point in the northwest, just at the end of the lake.

After this, off to Zambia!

Term Break, Whoot-Whoot!

In less than a week, I'll be heading off for another month of adventures away from school! In May, I was in South Africa, working on a farm there, but this break, I'm going to be travelling through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. I have a vague idea of where I'm going, but I'm trying to not plan too much in advance. That's hard, just because I'm excited, and can't help but want to think about my trip.

But, no. No planning. Well, some. Not a lot.

But, for reference, since it's a month long break, and I'll be travelling through four countries (well, six, technically, but I'm not counting Swaziland, and I'll be in South Africa for less than twenty-four hours), it's about a week per country. So, I've got this magical internet thing all set up to post a little bit about the country I'm travelling through around the time that I'll be there, so you can have a little bit of an idea where I am. Then, when I get back, I'll post about my adventures along the roads.

For everyone back in the States, enjoy going back to school - I'm going to enjoy running around Africa for a month :)
