Saying farewell to the lake of stars
... country. Lake Malawi has been renamed Lake Niassa and there seems to be at least one stand out noticeable change with Mozambique... they speak Portuguese here! (...and not French as I thought as recently as six months ago. Very misleading use of the ...
Tijd om te vliegen !!!
Ik wil van Nampula naar Ilha de Mocambique. Gezien de afstand doet men er er dagen over om van Vilanculo naar Nampula te gaan. Dus besluit ik via Beira naar Nampula te vliegen. De laatste dagen is mijn gehoor wat slecht en lijkt wel of mijn oren dicht ...
Marromeu
... was practically falling apart and drove 24 hours straight through on the only road that heads north in the entire country of Mozambique. You would think that with the only road heading north in a country that they would keep the road ...
evento politico
hoje ao chegar na escola fiquei sabendo de uma visita que paralisaria a escola. O administrador do destrito (algo entre um prefeito e um governador) iria passar por aqui. A explicacao inicial dada por ele era de que aquilo era uma visita de rotina. Que ...
adapatacao, duvidas e perguntas
Sempre imaginei que as primeiras semanas, quando finalmente estivesse me envolvendo nos projetos, seria dificil. Mas nesses meus pensamentos eu nao contava com as dificuldades extras, como foi o caso dos ultimos eventos por aqui. Nao bastavam as ...

En route vers les plages
Tres bonnes premiere impressions du Mozambique. En arrivant a la gare de bus, on m a depose en ville gratuitement et sans que je le demande. Il fait bon, il fait chaud et de nouveau je retrouve les memes cliches sur les anciennes colonies portugaises : ...
saindo de mocambique
Meu caminho de saida de mocambique foi aproveitando para passar por cidades onde haviam amigos. Sem duvida esse foi o melhor aspecto da volta. Entre outras coisas porque muitas dessas pessoas que achava que nao ia poder ver mais. Por isso mesmo, por nao ...
Inhassoro to Gorongosa
I was awake at 5.30 again this morning - in time to see the sunrise, which was more spectacular than yesterday as there was some cloud in the sky. We sorted and packed up camp and left just before 8 to get some fuel before our long drive. The drive was ...
Amazing Tevele

Father Roland
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania March 20-22 There is a different feel to this place. I'm not sure I can really put my finger on it, but it isn't as friendly as the other places we've been in Africa. Yet people are looking out for us. In the ...
BEACH here we come....
... . Todd works at USAID which I will tell you about at another time. We are headed to the beach right now in Northern Mozambique. It is a 6-8 hour drive so that is why I have to go now. I will be back in touch when things are more ...
Requins baleines

violao e conversas
Apos o episodio do cabelo as coisas ate que melhoram. Nao eh que agora tudo esteja agitado, mas ja pude perceber alguns passos. Bem melhor do que estar "parado". O violao esta sendo uma boa "arma" para me aproximar mais dos estudantes. Infelizmente ...
Ilha de Moçambique
Before reaching Ilha de Moçambique we spent a few days in Gurue, which is a mountain town surrounded by tea plantations. Before the rain transformed the roads into wet muddy slopes we had a lovely walk around Gurue. We met Rachel and Bruce, a Zimbabwean ...

praia, banho de cuia e roupas limpas
Se na escola a coisa demora a andar, ao menos ha compensacoes do genero geografico. A casa onde vivemos se localiza muito proxima a praia. Quando chegamos no final do dia muitas vezes ainda temos tempo para dar uma mergulho nas ultimas luzes do sol. A ...
Manica, quase saindo de Moçambique
Por Robson No Projeto 20°12' esta foi a última cidade de Moçambique por onde passamos antes de chegar à fronteira. Como a viagem rendeu bem, aproveitamos para encher o tanque num posto simpático na cidadela de Manica, antes de entrar no ...
Fantastic beaches, coast and islands of Mozambique
From 1 November to 11 November I spent lazy and wonderful days on the coast of Mocambique. 6 days at Bamboozi Backpackers in Tofo and 5 days up around Vilanculos (or Villanculo? Or Vilanculo?). What can I say? Highlights? 1. Snorkling with a whale ...
New Year In Maputo
... the tree lined avenues, to the independence square, saw an iron house designed by Eiffel and lapped in the latin vibe (Mozambique is a former Portugese colony so it feels a bit like Brazil). Yesterday we visited the art museum, it was fascinating. ...

Surf Town
The next morning we got on a bus to Maxixe, and after a short 4 hour ride, complete with about 40 chickens under our seats, sometimes pecking on our ankles, and one of them laying an egg in the excitement of traveling on a bus, we made it. From there it ...

Another tough travel day
We woke the next morning a bit after 4 am, to catch our 5 am bus to Nampula. We stumbled to the bus station, tired and hot still/already. We found our big bus, a relatively normal coach, but sitting 5 across instead of 4, and very small windows for ...
Vilanculos to Maputo, via Tofo
