Tivoli Maputo

... smaller one back to keep as a souvenir. One of the other tramp just got on the minivan, had a look around and then left - here is a reason to keep an eye on your stuff!<br><br>We eventually set off, the minivan was full and I felt a little paranoid as Marek had just explained to me the risk of catching TB in confined places like a minivan. He was also saying that because of his job he was actually not allowed to take this shuttle. <br><br>The weather was not great but it got ...

... real&#8217; travelers, more &#8216;kids on holiday.&#8217; Where there IS internet, it&#8217;s frequently idle. There are some characters, though, like the redneck guys from S.A. with their pass-around hookah. Somehow I can&#8217;t see rednecks in Mississippi doing this. They&#8217;re not really rednecks, though, since they can argue over fine distinctions in rock-and-roll history. And they&#8217;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 ...

... ourselves on Saturday and went out on a boat to an island about an hour ride off the coast, where we were treated to even more delicious seafood, beautiful beaches, blue water, and snorkeling. It wasn't the greatest snorkeling ever, though maybe I'm a bit spoiled ... but I did see some really scarily enormous fish and a sea turtle! And, they speak Portuguese! So maybe I do hope that PCI ends up expanding to Mozambique ... I know just the gal to head up the office ...

... ser estranho para os voluntarios que estao em projetos naquela regiao. Ter sempre pessoas entrando e saindo da "sua" casa. A quantidade de gente eh tao grande que meu grupo, que era de 12 pessoas, precisou ficar em barracas no patio entre as casas. Para mim isso nao causou maiores problemas. O mais importante tinhamos: onde dormir, onde comer onde tomar banho. Recebemos, pela primeira vez, nossa ajuda de custo. No tempo em que se fica no projeto os voluntarios recebem uma ajuda ...

... flight the following day would mean me missing my flight to Cape Town. So, Anna had mentioned I should "try crossing with the ferry...it-s quite an adventure". So...this sort of appealed. The weather at this early time was not yet what you'd call beach weather but I hadn't packed my faithful eastpak for nothing so I told Zara and Jesper (z and j from now on, tired fingers) I was hitting the ferry to check out Catembe on the other side of the water. They were happy to tag ...

... distance blah blah. The word SAFARI comes up "wAKATI HADI MWISHO WA SAFARI"!!!!!!!!!!!! and Ash lets out a little "wweeee" for joy, althought at that point she's still not sure what it means exactly.. so, err.all the way from Ams to Nairobi this Safari thing glared at Ash in her "I just woke up again and my God it's only been an hour and our dot looks not much closer at all to Nairobi" sticky eyes? I finally mustered the courage to show my ignorance and asked Nelson ...

... we will pick up our own 4X4 for three weeks. Bliss. We've also had our first really communal backpackers. Chris and Kate Mr and Mrs middle class england try a spot of backpacking...they cook up a spicy chorizo + rice dish (which, face it those of you who have sampled our tremendous cooking, is nothing really) and salad with wine whilst the backpackers look on open mouthed whilst dipping their bananas ...

... And then at the calamari: "Fried." In this fashion, we also somehow ordered water, rice, salad, and a bottle of wine. The food tasted so good that we didn't even really mind the vendors coming up to as (at our outdoor table) selling painted tapestries, cashews, and mini chests of drawers. On our second full day in Maputo, we took a ferry to Inhaca Island. We expected a 1.5 hour ferry ride that turned into 3 when we ...

Muito antes de chegar em Moçambique já tinha ouvido falar muito bem Salomão. Ao chegar no meu primeiro dia na Universidade Eduardo Mondlane percebi algo diferente no ar. Não sabia explicar o que era, mas era diferente. Salomão veio ao meu encontro e me apresentou seu amigo chamado Macucule. Quando estendi a mão para cumprimentá-lo, ele de maneira muito descuidada cuspiu no meu rosto. Foi involuntário, mas eu fiquei imóvel. Não estava ...
