... on the menu from her South American trip and we ordered an egg (Ovo) sandwich for lunch.. not too exciting however it was vegetarian and filled the hole. We collectively said bugger this lets get some supplies and head out..off to the bank. Got some funny money.. off to the shop.. got some stuff and then headed for the National Highway No2. Easy!!

No street signs thus I figured if we head towards the airport we should come across the main ...

... moontlik te spaar om we** te gaan to**.

Wanne** ons k**kmuise dan die pad vat het ons sui***** as 'n skotsman geto**. Jy was so suinig, jy het byna met me** geld na jou reis tuis gekom as waarmee jy v**trek het.

Ek het skool gehou en Sakkie was sekuriteitswag. Die paar los stukkies kl**e wat ek as waardig genoeg geag het om in skool te hou is stuk stuk of by liefdadigheidswinkels teen 'n paar pennies gekoop of by Heloise gekry wat by rykes in die noorde “ ...

... Uma coisa curiosa, para mim, foi perceber a forte influencia da historia comunista do pais. Uma vez libertado dos colonizadores portugueses depois de muita batalha, a Frente para Libertacao de Mocambique (FRELIMO) tomou o poder e, com o tempo, passou a seguir linhas e politicas socialistas.

Z also got involved and we played some footied in the sand, these kids were just insanely cute. and on the other side of the ferry/dinghy caught the most AMAZING sunset over Maputo which was being blown by a ...

... quaint?, given what's going on. But, the scenery definitely got greener as we veered closer to the coast and down the length of Mozambique and finally into Maputo... having been stripped of my hand luggage, containing proof that I am duly innoculated against all sorts of weird stuff bugs etc carry round here, I reached passport control and eer...had to wing it, he believed me (Hey, we were speaking THE SAME LANGUAGE, of course it would work out) and I got through ...

... while taking in the views of the Mozambican Channel. We had both left our passports in our hotel...which it turns out was a big mistake. I do not speak any Portuguese (the official language in Mozambique) and would have been screwed if Megan were not with me. Bits of their conversation were easy to understand with a Spanish background and the main things I could tease out were: 1. California (the state on my driver's license that ...

... that was expensive but had AC (only the second place that I stayed with AC) and was a 2 minute walk from the bus station. The hotel's location came in handy when we had to catch the 430 am bus the next morning. From Tete we rode to Chimoio which was a 7 hour bus ride on a 30-seater bus.
