Dear Ms. Lancefield,

We have been reading email from our teacher friend, Ms. McLane, and her bicycle trip around the world.

She just left South Africa and rode through Swaziland.

It took her 2 days to ride across Swaziland.

We were wondering:

1. How come it took Ms. McLane 2 days to bicycle across the country when a car can cross it in 3 hours?

2. What is it about the land in Swaziland that makes it difficult to ride on a bicycle? What is the terrain like?

3. What does Swaziland look like?

4. What is the average temperature?

5. Does it rain a lot?

6. What foods do people in Swaziland eat?

7. Please tell us what language they speak in Swaziland.

Thank you for answering our questions,

From, Mrs. Rennebohm Franz's class
