Personal highlights

  1. Goba: very small, run-down border post with barely any people around
  2. Border: no complications, as everybody already has a visa, normal procedure
  3. Road Trip: having to leave my rented car in Swazilandinfo-icon, self-driving is finally over
  4. Last Mile: driving the last stretch in a packed combi with a total of 7 people
  5. Mozambiqueinfo-icon: entering my first African country without native English speakers
