introducao a Mocambique

Note to self: Don't touch Bluebottles!
In the early hours of this morning I got up to go to the bathroom and tripped on a tree root. I can tell you, taking the tip off your second-to-little toe is extremely painful! Especially when the water supply is off so you can't get the sand out of ...
One day in the capital
Beethoven's 5th symphony meanders gently through the slightly mouldy shower curtain to my ears...I am struck by the contrast of hearing this so very 'Western' tune in the heart of Maputo a city that is bursting with colour, life, sound and African ...
