Pestana Rovuma Maputo

... it<br><br>. <br><br>As we were talking, John had caught up with me and arrived in Maputo. I then warned Joel and Hannah that he was ok bit a bit odd sometimes. I ended up going to town for food with John and to be fair he was ok; he actually speak fluent French so we spoke in French.<br><br>As we got to the restaurant, the waiter wanted to tell us where to sit but his boss was not happy he did that so he told him off in front of us and told to "please sit where you want!" I ...

... a degree of waiting around until they are full to the brim. The other problem was that we wanted to go to Graskop on a public holiday. Turns out the locals prefer not to travel much that day but instead to stay put (preferably propping up a bar), so we found ourselves waiting for 3 HOURS at Nelspruit taxi bus station waiting for enough people to make up their mind to travel with us to Sabie, half way to Graskop. Although it was only the two ...

... ver a praia lotada de pessoas, mas ninguem na agua, mas nao tive oportunidade de investigar o motivo. A volta foi uma verdadeira aventura. Pegamos um "chapa", eh o nome que eles dao ao transporte coletivo. Pode ser uma van ou um onibus pequeno, o importante nao eh o veiculo, mas sim a lotacao. A quantidade de gente em pe e sentada era tao grande que as vans que antes cruzavam o recife lotadas ate passaram a me parecer um pouco mais confortavel. A pior parte, pra mim, nao foi o ...

... would argue I did this just for the photo op, but actually it was a lot of fun, even if once again I had my number requested on the vow that I would be sorely missed and it'd be "very nice" to hear my voice from time to time. sigh.... if only European men were this easy! Anyway, the three of us walked for about an hour and a half, Z and I pickig up shells on the way (in my case, not really out of a love for shells but I felt sasha and sashimi might like them, being fresh ...

... could help. What do I know? Nairobi airport, which we landed in in the dark, is like a train station from 1980's Portugal. Too long to describe, but you might get the picture. So I lean into the nearest duty free store, store man is on the phone and we have only 15 minutes til we need to board, so I just make the universal "I'm smoking" signal...this catches the dude's attention BIG TIME. He clasps his hand over the mouthpiece and says eagerly "Yes, sorry", so I ...

... Guest House, complete with a private patio where we can watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of the muezzin from the neighborhood mosque. We are all pretty happy to have warm weather again and are looking forward to hanging up our coats for the rest of the trip. Tomorrow we have our first meeting with MSF (aka Doctors Without Borders) and hope to spend the afternoon doing some sightseeing.

... big dirty cities. We then wandered around for a bit, got haggled but some street vendors for a bit, and then just got worn down so we sat on a patio for a beer and contemplated our evening. We decided the best thing for everyone was to just lay low, so we went to a movie! (seems to be our solution when we are grumpy and not really in a place we want to be!) So movie and a late dinner fixed us right up and got us ready for bed. Tomorrow, we ...
