After a whole day long challenge of crossing the border between Mozambique and Tanzania at the Rovuma river (including 3 rides in the back of pick-up trucks and a boat across the river), I am back in Tanzania. Still a week to go before I come back to Poland, but travelling in northern Mozambique wasn't nearly as time consuming as everyone and Lonely Planet warned me.
The last couple of days in Mozambique were really sweet. Except maybe for Pemba, which is an overly touristy place for me (but at the same time it is there where, while scuba diving, I heard the sounds of whales!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! amazing amazing amazing experience!), but Montepuez, Mocimboa da Praia and Palma totally made up for it by being absolutely tourist-free and providing me with some really nice encounters and relaxed walks around the market etc.
I'm already missing Mozambique: all the incredibly kind people, portuguese language, beautiful cities and landscape (and the ocean...), nonexistence of the word 'mzungu' (in Tz used, far too often, for all the white foreigners - in Mozambique there is no word of this kind)... Hmm... I am already looking for good connections to Johannesburg - it's only a couple of hours from Maputo ;)
