Hotel Zambeze Tete

We drove for one day in Mozambique, crossing the Zambezi river in the town of Tete. <br>The wait was long so the local children entertained us with singing, dancing and capoeihra. It's a pity, I couldn't try the local beer - we stopped for a bush camp and then continued on to Zimbabwe.

The longest of long days. Awake at 5 and up at 5:30, racing to the shower before everyone else started rising. Chilly morning with mist hovering above the lake creating a most beautiful scene. Left camp at 7. Snotty nose and getting a cold so made myself at home on the beach, sleeping bag and all. Kipped intermittently until 12 where we arrive at the border. <br><br><br><br>Took max of 2 seconds to check out of Zim but 3 ½ - 4 *******n hours to ...

We waved goodbye to Happy and the AUP crew and took the bus down the coast to Lilongwe. We had planned to visit Mozambique but after spending the past seven months in 'third world' countries enough was enough, we felt the pull towards supermarkets, pavements and general order in society so we made the decision to bus it through Mozambique and start visiting modern South Africa, our final country! The next day it was down to Blantyre and ...

Going to Zimbabwe was a difficult choice, and deserves a full entry to itself, and will receive one. One of the amazing things about this trip is the constant meeting of incredible people who then impact my life in any number of ways. I had decided to not go to Zimbabwe. Any news I could find was all bad, and all horror stories. While not afraid of my personal safety (I consistently heard how friendly and wonderful the people were ...

We entered Mozambique for 2 days in transit on the way to Zimbabwe. The fisrt thing we did was cross over the Zambezi river, which leads to Victoria Falls where we are going in a few weeks. We passed more crazy rock formations, fields of sunflowers and little villages before reaching our camp which was in the middle of nowhere. There was some excitement ...

We left Lake Malawi and headed for Bulawayo. Along the way I managed to buy another carved table (oops!) but it was a bargain at $15. In Blantyre I sent all the tables home which should take 2 months. I also went to visit Blantyre cathedral. It rained most of our day here. We then headed on to Mozambique.

MALAWI Chitipa to Blantyre 21st January 2007 We were woken and pulled out of bed early on Sunday morning. The taxi driver (who I had helped get un-stuck the day before, halfway between Mbeya and Chitipa), made us get our **** together and jump on the back of his truck. Being used to delayed transport which only leaves when it's full, really full, I wondered around taking early morning shots of pigs and humorous signs. The driver got impatient and told me he was ...

Hello!! We arrived into Blantyre, Malawi's second largest city, in the afternoon of the 21st. We are in Blantyre in order to process our Mozambique visa's since it takes 24 hours to do. We just hung out at the campsite for the rest of the day as Suzanne was feeling tired from the long truck day. The next day, we walked around Blantyre and the crafts market. For being the second largest city, it felt incredibly small as the city center seemed only like a 5 block by 5 block area ...

C... We have spent the last few days chilling on a stunning beach in Zanzibar. We took the briefest of tours to check out the history of Stone Town and to learn a little about the amazing spices that grow here, but after the last few weeks of charging around Uganda and then to the Serengetti we thought we needed a break from it all. We just had three days to immerse ...
