Pestana Bazaruto Lodge Bazaruto Island

Le mozambique veut privilegier le tourisme de luxe, mais heureusement on peut encore voyager pour pas cher dans ce pays. Apres tofo, voici un autre coin de reve. On peut faire des excursions en bateau suivies de poissons grilles sur la plage (ou des langoustes), ou faire du cheval avec vu sur la mangrove, cocoteraies et galop sur la plage avec en prime en ete nage avec les chevaux dans l eau (en restant assis sur le cheval). <br>

... totally adopted the shape of your foot. Comfortable, familiar and safe. We have never met this man before in our life and yet within minutes we are in his car and off to the nearest (and only) grocery store to shop for dinner at his house...prawns, mussels, cream, saffron, tagliatelle.....needless to say a scrumptious meal followed in Gerd and Barbara's home. Thank you Gerd and Barbara for just opening your hearts (and home) and letting us in. This was a very special meeting ...

... and easy to snorkel on the side protected by the reef. Our favorite was the part they call "The Aquarium", because when the tide is low it keeps the fish concentrated in one area as 3 sides are closed by rocks. We saw a bunch of emperor angel fish (Tim's favorite), followed a swimming turtle, saw a couple of octopus including one that changed color to match the new location it moved to, some beautiful giant clams, a few moray eels ...

... his spear through the water and pulled out a sizeable squid. We spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon walking around in the warm waters, swimming a bit and relaxing on the beach watching the dows coming back into town with their full loads of fish and prawns. In the early evening we made our way into town. The market was now busy with all the fishermen and their catch. A bunch of guys jumped around us yelling, "Amigo, you wan fish, King fish, Barracuda, whatever you ...

... their measurements, nor did I trust the quality. 200 km later, the red light on the fuel gauge came on and we were nowhere near a city. We hadn't put enough fuel in as it was too expensive. I did every possible thing to minimize the consumption. We endured the stifling heat without the aircon, I drove 80 km/h, freewheeled down hills and avoided braking or overtaking. I had driven over 50km since the red light came on, and started to smell fumes. When ...

... Tis niet lekker om door het dicht bestruikte eiland te gaan lopen want je halt je open aan de takken en doorns. Maar verder een prachtig plaatje voor Bacardi of Bounty. Ik heb me wel op een paar plekken opgehaald aan het koraal. En aardig verbrand ook...pfff...de volgende dag dus ook niet de zon meer gaan zitten. En ik heb dus ook niets gedaan. Ja, bepaald hoe en waar ik heen reis...

Op deze dagen het kleine plaatsje doorgelopen. En ik kan zeggen dat het hier ongelofelijk warm is. Bijna niet uit te houden overdag. Je moet of gaan zwemmen of in de schaduw rustig liggen of een boekje lezen. Ik doe juist weer iets anders... Ik bezoek een marktje, praat met de lokale bevolking die gelukkig Engels spreken want mijn ...

After touching the extreme south of Africa, our travels have come to an end in the paradise of Mozambique. Beach, sun, sand, and best of all, awesome diving have been filling our last week of our adventure. Off these shores, we have seen such rich wildlife - especially compared to Lake Malawi, site of our last underwater safari. Here, the fish are huge, the biggest being the 12m long WHALE-SHARK. These ...

We drove along the beach to the Bide peninsula passing vehicles stuck in the sea - it really is a pleasure to have an offroad expert like Claude to show you how its done. We tried to find a spot to camp on the beach but the wind was howling so we managed to rent a fancy wooden hut on the beach. There was no bedding and after the thefts at Baobab we were seriously short of warmth ...

... walking back from town and then got malaria. Half my laundry was nicked and some rich english backpacker got caught stealing some of our prawns (that we'd spent hours cleaning - stupid sod if he'd asked we'd have gladly given him some). We were playing footie with some kids on the beach one day until we tired of it and then headed back into the lodge. A while later we heard a ruckus outside and went out to ...
