Formal Dinner - Swaziland 26 - 28 November

Formal dinner this year went to Shewula Mountain Camp in the north eastern corner of Swaziland. We left at 5am on Sat 26th November full to the brim with everything to make our two nights there super comfy and luxurious.
The actual formal dinner was delicious (thanks to Lisa and Mark Shaerer) but of course the weather had to play a part and it blew the entire time we ate. Floor length dresses were quickly abandoned for tracksuit tops and pants and the candles were mere decoration. But it was a fantastic dinner nevertheless (with many a toast given to 'the Animal') as only an Explorer's Formal dinner can be. The traditional game of cricket was played on the local community's soccer field. Lots of alcohol was consumed and many a 'bat bat bat' and 'viking' and 'bunny bunny bunny' was played.
Here's to next year's Formal dinner being just as awesome!

beautiful spot - just watch out for sticky fingers: we lost a chair and a swiss army knife...
