... on of their local friend and then they drop me off at a junction so I could catch one of the Chapas driving by.

A chapa is a very cheap way to get around, it is basically like a bus, expect that it is a minivan and you have one every 30 seconds. We so should have that in Europe to get to work, it would reduce traffic considerably. Anyway, I got had to wait a couple of minutes, under a light rain, because most of them were full and I had 3 different bags. The chapa took me directly to ...

... real’ travelers, more ‘kids on holiday.’ Where there IS internet, it’s frequently idle. There are some characters, though, like the redneck guys from S.A. with their pass-around hookah. Somehow I can’t see rednecks in Mississippi doing this. They’re not really rednecks, though, since they can argue over fine distinctions in rock-and-roll history. And they’ve got to be South Africans, since ...

... skuins draai soos die van 'n onsek** hond, e**s die kant toe en daai kant toe t**wyl Phillip sy eenman stuk opvo**. Dan hol die boef weg met kort tree en knie koppe wat hoog gelig word t**wyl die akteur sy gehoor in die oë kyk. Teen die tyd maak die gehoor se gesigte rimpels soos hul poog om die gelag binne te hou. Hy sluit af met 'n buiging in sy lyf, sy duime en wysving**s wat sirkels voor sy groot ronde getrekte oe maak om te vra of die v**bygang** nie 'n moontlike v**dagte ...

Maputo was not a bad stopover. We watched the election to kill some time. It is a fairly walkable city and on the beach it has a great seafood restaurant named Costa do Sol. We got a big mixed seafood platter to try the Mocambique prawns. We also went to the market and bought huge bags of cashews and mangoes.

... conference that Antonio, the guy I had met on my second attempt to get to Inhaca, came for. I actually fell asleep on the now smooth trip back and as we pulled into port 2 hours later, there she was: the Infante Sagres, only about the most beautiful vessel flying the Portuguese flag these days! Docked in Maputo...I've seen this ship SO many times from my terrace back home in Portugal it was quite special to see her all the way down here. Another beautiful ...

... and I still own my camera! I got home with nearly black feet and Anna's mum could not believe I walked home....I chilled by the pool with Delsey, little munchkin seems to like me quite a bit!, caught up with Aurelie and Anna, some chow time seen as 8am breakfast feast kept me rolling til 7pm.... and now this catch up! So, plan is Inhaca tomorrow...just a whole day on the beach, me and my books.....chil out time to me, myself and I...then Cape Town on Friday!

... with another whaleshark and saw 6 humpback whales on the return - but it was all a bit of an 'experience'. So instead of carrying on diving for the rest of our stay we relaxed and sunbathed for about our 2nd time on this trip. We also bartered for some African memorabilia - which we got for "good price" - we actually got rid of our blankets and fleeces - had some drunken nights involving drinking games and we left Mozambique for the delights of our last wildlife destination of Kruger

... to enjoy our stay in Mozambique. The next day, having learned our lesson, we both made sure to carry our passports when we out into the city. Mine was promptly pickpocketed. Luckily, the man who took it from me decided he'd have a hard time passing for me, so he let me know he had it and pretended that he had found it on the ground. I gave him R1.50 (less than 20 cents). He seemed really disappointed, but I can't say I ...

... ask the architect to incorporate one! We said goodbye to Yusuf and continued around the old town, discovering the railway station. This is the beginning of one of the only two passenger routes in Mozambique - taking passengers to the South African border. Today it was deserted apart from two security guards. We walked via the botanic gardens and hid from the sun in the hotel. We ate a fantastic christmas dinner in the hotel.

... que aquilo havia acontecido comigo no primeiro dia de evangelismo no campus. Ele se desculpou e começou a passar a mão no meu rosto limpando a saliva. Começamos a conversar e Macucule contou do seu descontentamento com Deus e suas dificuldades de comunicação com o Senhor. Ele parecia muito confuso. Então eu perguntei: Macucule, como é o seu relacionamento com Deus? Ele respondeu: bem eu vou até a igreja e lá recebo os elementos necessários ...
