Swaziland

Africa-Swaziland-Ezulwini  Swaziland was the  first stop on my recent trip to Southern Africa. Here you can see a typical view of the countryside . 

I posted this card in Ezulwini . The main tourist area in Swaziland. My first stop was to call into Mbabane , the capital city. It was cold and raining that day and the city itself is pretty uninspiring . I called to the Philatelic shop which is on the main street. It just has a glass door with a sign. The last stamps they had was 2010 , but was expecting stamps from another office. The philatelic office itself needed a good sort out and the the only staff member I talked to was not in the least helpful in trying to show me stamps. So I left. I then visited the Main Post office around the corner. At this stage I had no postcards and the post office only had a small selection of stamps so I did not post at the main GPO.

The Post clerk at the Post office. A very nice lady who was helpful in showing me what stamps was available.
