Londo Lodge Pemba

<br>Invited to stay in a local family for 2 nights was a REAL experience. The conditions in which they live are not bad, the most difficult thing to get used to is that their notions of hygiene is very different from ours. But I have been warmly welcomed by Elena and her 5 children and she fed me like her own child, calling me on my cell phone when dinner was ...

Not a great accomodation, clean and enough as all the activities are turned on outdoor : walking or driving safaris. Not a lot of animals to see, but a very beautifull and amazing landscape.<br>And here it's adventure first<br>to have an idea www.taratibulodge.com <br>Fairwinds<br>Corto

... of the bus to ourselves for the whole 7 hour ride. We stayed at Wimbi Sun Hotel, just across the street from the beach. We had pretty nice weather, and we would eat at restaurants on the beach and stay there all day. We also go into the habit of crashing the really expensive hotel on the beach, especially ...

That's all folks som det heter paa film, dette er en sluttstrek, finito... Det lot seg ikke gjore aa oppdatere blogg i bushen i Afrika, og vi gir herved opp! Det loves (og eller trues, alt ettersom) med bilder naar vi kommer hjem og historier saa klart. Dessverre saa har ikke den teknologiske revolusjon kommet saa langt i Afrika. Internettkafeene er sjeldne og treige, det gaarkje! Vi kommer snart hjem, lander i Stavanger paa mandag. Snakkes!

... die sinkdak ons wakker.die gedruis raak harder en harder. In my lewe het ek nog nooit so geraas van drupples beleef nie. Ek gaan kyk by die voordeur uit hoe lyk die watervlakke in die straat.Vir dieeerste maal in my lewe is ek bang vir verdrink tydens 'n donderbui.Die water loop dik in die straat af, maar ons lyk veilig.die Mosambieker by ontvangs lyk ook rustig. Vier uur die oggend is ons reg om die taxi Mocuba toe te vang. In die geweste ...

So, finally we have escaped the French Police state, and have returned to Africa!!! We left Mayotte with three on board, Tom me and Katie a young Southern American girl&gt; THe passage was alright except for an extreme lack of wind. We spent 5 days making the 300 mile trip, and had to motor almost 40 hours!!! I spent my 24th birthday on the sea, fairly close to an island of Comoros. The day started not so good, as without wind we ...

eventually arrived at pemba after my mission of a journey, spent a few days relaxing in russells place. enjoyed the beach and swimming in the sea but pemba didnt really catch my heart. never made it to the islands, was too difficult and thats supposed to be the highlight, except ...

... there was no way I would be able to get on and it would have been a lost cause anyhow as Naçala was 7km away and all of the bicycles already had two passengers on them! I waited half an hour getting more and more frustrated as time went by. It was now 05:15 and I was praying the bus was delayed. A large truck came past and I stood in the middle of the road desperate for it to stop. It was full. I didn't care. They made space for me amongst the baskets of ...

... the way. They were rounding up what were probably sardines and there were flocks of terns dive bombing the small fish from up above. Once the seas calmed down a bit the food and G+T came out - All very civilized. Steve got out his IPod and speakers and we put on a bit of Manu Chau. It really doesn't get better than this and I was very happy that I'd taken the Dhow trip. At one point Roberto had mentioned to the crew that I looked ...

After a grueling 24 hr drive I eventually reached Pemba in the early morning. Found the legendary Russel's Place and immediately met some cool people. Couple of days to relax before M &amp; D arrived from SA. Nice visit and great to have a bank card that works finally (Moz banks didn't accept maestro). Landy got broken into while we were swimming no further than 30 m from it. Replaced window with some perspex and after dropping M&amp;D back at ...
