    This Tiny Kingdom Stunned Me 🇸🇿 vA63-S2

    I ride from Manzini to Hlane National Park, in eSwatini, in Africa.
    My way across Manzini is funny, but then I ride on the highway… not very pleasant. After some time, I finally realize that there is a small secondary road running parallel to the highway, and I go for it. I try to go to have lunch at a cultural village, but the lodge is empty, something quite usual in Swaziland, so I have to resort to a roadside lunch. After that, I have a lovely ride down to the National Park with a beautiful view over the Lebombo mountains, marking the border with Mozambique, my next country. The road enters the National Park and a sign says that there might be lions and elephants… adrenaline rush… I become hyper alert. I see a lot of animals, I stop to watch some giraffes and I finally arrive at a beautiful campsite in the National Park. There are antelopes everywhere, and the rhinos are just in front of the lodge. Incredible.

      Those two kids outside the empty lodge were most likely planning to do some baby making practice. Very prevalent in rural Africa unfortunately, you find primary school children falling pregnant. You could have encourage him to go home i guess 😂

      This is fraud!!!! He is riding a vehicle that crosses the line into a lightweight electric motorcycle, but he aggressively uses the "vulnerable cyclist" card to bypass the laws, registration fees, and safety certifications that local citizens are required to follow.

      He also avoids and discourages any police officer from inspecting this vehicle like the female cop in South Africa who asked for a licence who he ridiculed by saying "What are you taking about this is a biycle ". If he remains calm and engages them, they might ask him to show how the vehicle works. The moment an officer notices a twist throttle on the handlebars or asks why a "bicycle" weighs over 100 kg and has massive battery to propel it, the legal definition breaks down.

      I felt so happy when you said Kenya was awesome! My country doesn't disappoint! Having watched your journey through South Africa, especially Cape Town, I thought it would be the first place you'd say was awesome so yes you saying Kenya top off your head is really something Yves!🎉

      Most people cannot understand how one person can spend 8 years of their life pursuing a dream, all alone! Discovering countries and meeting people along the way. I think it's amazing! What a huge gift you have given yourself.

      Hi Kino, Love your Videos. I just have 1 Question for you. When going down hill why do you pedal as appose to free wheel? It not like the bike is generating additional power for the Battery. Is it just a force of habit to pedal down hill?

      One thing I love about you Kino is the fact you said, Kenya was the best country you have gone thru in Africa. Thank you, a big thanks from a Kenyan-American in Seattle. Keep up the good job.

      That large broken sphere you found looks like a counterweight that would be put in the tank of a tanker to help balance the weight when it turns, but I might be wrong (usually those are solid rubber).
