    1. Yes, that's right. My postcards from Lesotho and Swaziland really resemble each other - the mountains, I guess ;)

  2. They're very similar places indeed... I've been several times in Swaziland back in 2004 when I spent one year in Mozambique - spent some amazing weekends in Hlane Royal National Park... unfortunately I didn't care much about postcards back then! :(
