Nampula !!! Heerlijk zo'n vliegtuig
Na een uur vliegen in Nampula aangekomen. Ik verblijf in Pensao Marques. Ziet er allemaal niet uit vergeleken van waar ik kwam en nog duurder ook ?!??! Hier ontmoet ik Harold en Irina. Harold komt uit Duitseland en zit in Malawi om zijn studie ...
algas marinhas, domingo "relax" e ideias recebidas
Saimos no domingo muito cedo para conhecer um trabalho de um frances que mora por aqui. Algas marinhas eh o ramo dele. Confesso minha total ignorancia no assunto. Nao sabia da existencia de "fazendas" de algas marinhas, mas elas existem. Surpresa maior ...
The Mozambique-an Adventure
... I absorbed the local culture, the atmosphere, the socio-economic-political dynamics of the country and left with a greater understanding of Mozambique. Lastly, one thing this trip especially taught me is the importance of language. We relied on one of our ...
conhecendo o povo
Com o passar do tempo vou conhecendo o povo. Tanto a escola quanto a casa onde vivo ficam no meio de uma pequen vila. O povo desta regiao veio de uma tribo originalmente chamada Macua, que tambem da nome a lingua que ainda hoje se comunicam. A lingua ...
Maratona para chegar e entrar no Zim! - Zimbábue
No Projeto 20°12', cruzar fronteiras dos países com terras a 20°12'Sul virou uma rotina para nós, e como era de se esperar, cada fronteira é diferente uma da outra. Antes da viagem, adotamos a estratégia de obter o máximo de vistos necessários ...
Inhaca Island
Maputo is a sad city. It is very run down, looks like it was nice at one point but not many things are ruined and destroyed. The city is very dirty as well. Our hostel was digusting so we went to a hotel down the street. We had a little trouble ...
Fun times
... see how we bedded down.. as it turned out he was actually 18 years old and had started this business with a couple of Mozambique doods.. well nearly started they were waiting for the final tick from the Tourist Branch of Mozambique, thus he said I cannot ...
plantando e colhendo
As primeiras semanas que passei aqui em Nacala nao foram faceis. Faltavam ideias e confianca e, com isso, sobrava tempo. O mais dificil da adaptacao foi ter paciencia. Tinha que saber esperar o tempo certo de cada coisa. Mesmo no tempo livre, fora da ...
Welcome to Africa
... on a Saturday night; 3 days with my sis, getting my vaccines and my residency visa, and I was on a plane Wednesday afternoon for Mozambique. It was very rushed and never again will I take so little time between missions. I spent 1 day in ...
Mozambique - 2 weeks in
... the trip as it felt more authentic than my travel up to this point. Inhambane has the same run down feel that all of Mozambique has although with more charm. You can still see the bullet holes in shops and walls that is a remnant of the Civil War. ...
At Sea
Sea days are the best! Here's our home away from home. The bathroom has both a tub and a shower stall. We use the tub to hang laundry to dry. There's no plug for a hair dryer, so I dry my hair in the bedroom at the vanity, which you can't see, ...
Maratona para chegar e entrar no Zim! - Moçambique
Por Robson. De volta ao cronograma original do Projeto 20°12', pegamos a estrada na perna mais puxada da viagem, em direção ao Zimbábue, o 2º da África Austral com terras a 20º12' que visitaríamos. Saímos cedo de Tofo, demos adeus à praia e ...
Christmas and New Years as the Rainy Season Begins
... I also came to the conclusion, based upon the pirated DVDs I saw for sale, that Chuck Norris could easily be elected President of Mozambique (with Rambo as his running mate). Other than that, there was rain, rain, some heat, then some more ...
Whale shark!!
... around at Diversity Scuba and watched 'Jaws' with them. Interesting choice of film for a dive outfit working in the 'shark-infested' Mozambique Channel... Then I went back to go to bed - up early for the chapa to Inhambane in the morning. On the walk ...
Bordering on Disaster
... the a 4am bus the next day straight to Vilanculos.14 hours later and then our first ride sat in the back of an open air truck (7 others stood in the middle) we reached the coast of Mozambique and patiently awaited the arrival of our special guests! ...
Pit stop em Xai-xai
Por Robson Expectativa total! Saindo da África do Sul chegamos a Moçambique, o primeiro país da África Austral com terras cortadas pelo paralelo 20°12' Sul que visitaremos dentro no Projeto 20º12'. O Projeto 20°12' é um projeto que tem como ...
Humpback whales!
Yey! No more penicillin! I celebrated by having a Savannah Dry - mmmm... Beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. There was an en masse up-and-leave as everyone packed up and moved on, most treading the well trodden trail up to Zombie Cucumber in ...
malaria
Apesar da maioria de nos ja ter ouvido falar sobre essa doenca, a malaria, poucos tem informacoes mais precisas sobre ela. A questao eh que esta enfermidade nao faz mais parte da nossa realidade. Ate algumas decadas atras, nos anos que se seguiram a ...
Capital of the North
After 2 hours on a pick up, and then 2 in a small minibus, we arrived in Nampula, to spend the night and catch an early morning bus to Quelimane. We found the hotel we wanted to stay in, but it quickly became apparent that it was possible to rent rooms ...
Ponto Malangane
"Boa noite!" despite the nice phrasing the German accent is not to be mistaken. We turn around, leaving our half-eaten, Spaghetti Bolognaise (which I might add was excellent, it does not quite rival Dad's Kaiser-Wilhem-Gedenk-Sauce, but it was good ...
Blantyre to Vilanculos via Chimoio
... is a trip. Just when I thought this was such a surreal experience, out comes the equivalent of Malawi Gold, aka Mozambique Gold, aka marijuana. As the buddy in the shotgun seat up front rolled a big fattie, I wondered just how safe this ...
Small world
Glorious day. Spent the morning with Hans and Ruadhan - talking to both of them at the same time makes my head hurt cos we are all on different wavelengths. I must stop hanging around with people like this - Vix is the same! I went down to Tofo to ...
Maputo City: Bustling Capital of Mozambique
... was the Museu Nacional de Arte that houses an interesting collection of paintings and sculptures by some of Mozambique's finest contemporary artists. The following day, after another enormous breakfast, we walked over to Nucleo de Arte, ...
The Sleepy Life of Murrébuè
... a baggage conveyor belt, the persons awaiting their luggage and little else. We were impressed by LAM, the Mozambique national airline, operating a relatively new plane and on schedule arrival, albeit rumours to the contrary - perhaps ...
Sunburn and pickup trucks
... that day not only had leather reclining seats and a choice of beverages but also the holy grail... wifi! Our adventure through Northern Mozambique is really to it's utmost taking us to our limit. We have well and truly wandered off the beaten track. Long ...
Up the Mozambican coast
... is that it is very very touristic and in season it is supposedly horrific, and everything is more expensive than elsewhere in Mozambique. I don't mind paying a bit more for tomatoes on the market if it goes straight to the market ladies pocket, but paying ...
Manta Rays!!
Got woken at 7.15am by Hans sticking his head in the door and shouting, "It's 9 o'clock!!" Bastard. Took my tablets for sea-sickness (not that I needed it) and trotted down to Diversity Scuba. The trip out on the RIB was exhilarating - it bounced ...
