Initially, we wanted to also stay in Vilanculos, but since we spent four nights in Inhassoro we decided to head directly for Tofo. We left Goody Villas at 09:40. The road to Vilanculos was still pretty bad. We went to check out Vilanculos for future reference and did some shopping. We also had lunch at [...]
Despite the long day ahead we only left camp at 9:30 and then drove 3km to the starting point for the hike to the big tree. We had a brisk walk through thick spider web covered forest for 1km. The big tree was indeed quite big and after trying various techniques to try and capture [...]
We got woken up at 06:30 by the security guard who brought us the key to house number 7, which had a hot shower. Hugo got out while Caro snoozed a while longer. We packed up slowly and Hugo quickly did some work. After packing up completely we went for the hot shower which was [...]
We got up slowly again and packed up. We had some work to do so we went to Norma Jean’s Lakeview Resort to see if they had good reception. The campsite and facilities looked really nice, but there was almost no cell phone reception and their WiFi just like the campsite is extremely expensive. Just [...]
Caro got up at 08:00 and quickly did some online work while Hugo snoozed. When Hugo got up we had buns with Melrose for breakfast and then packed up. Caro went for a quick swim again and somehow the water was much warmer and much cleaner than yesterday. We left at 10:00 and took the [...]
When we got up it was still cold and the tent was wet on the inside from condensation. We moved into a sunny patch and then made breakfast. The eggs we bought just before the border was all off so we just had Chorizo and onions on large buns. After packing up we drove to [...]
After packing up we got news of urgent work so we went to Piet and Ria’s house and asked them if we can sit at their outside dining table to work. We managed to get some work done before we started chatting to Stanley. He’s a Swazi-born investment manager turned photographer who is in Mozambique [...]
Our alarm went off early, but we both wanted to sleep more so we only got up at 08:00. We didn’t feel like eating as we still didn’t feel 100% normal. We started packing up when Fernando arrived and starting chatting to us. He showed us his large vegetable and fruit gardens and livestock. He [...]
We felt much better waking up this morning, but we both still had to visit the toilet. We drove to Nampula where we refuelled. The petrol station didn’t have air so we stopped next to the road where someone inflated the wheels by taking out the inside pin of the valve and just putting a [...]
Before checking out Caro went for a quick swim in the ocean for old time's sake as we were heading inland again for a week or two. We, unfortunately, had to drive the same long road back to Nampula, but at least we spent a good week here to make up for the long drive. [...]
