The title says it all. Mozambique has been to great for me to have time to hang out too much in the internet cafes :)
First Tete - in the north. Cold and rainy (although it´s supposed to be Mozambique´s hottest place), but a really nice town, with good people and an amazing bridge over Zambezi. I LOVE bridges, by the way.
Then Chimoio - a whole day of meeting interesting people: Mozambiquans, Canadian, Austrian, Spanish... And the first day of Ramadan, start of anti-malaria sprayings and a busy day at the market.
Beira - three days with a French family of couchsurfers - with two sweetest little girls on Earth. Lots of inspiring stories (from living in French Guyana and Madagascar), projects (compost-producing business in Beira!!!), books (Consuming twice less for twice better living :)), music (there´s a whole new list on my computer) and a good time of running errands in Beira, going out with friends, gardening in the backyard... Wonderful wonderful time.
Quelimane. Short but sweet - a beautiful town, perfect for an afternoon walk.
Nampula. A beautiful town with amazing post-colonial buildings, wide streets and surprisingly almost no life after dark. Why?? Still, good people and a really good, although small ethnographic musem with a good collection of Makonde masks and wonderful staff, giving English lessons while there are no visitors :)
And now I´m in heaven. Officially called Ilha de Moçambique. Sort of little Zanzibar, but much smaller, much more beautfiul and much less touristy (although still quite touristy compared to the other towns I visited). Still, it´s incredibly beautiful, relaxed and filled with good people.
Photos are coming, but I need to figure out how to connect my computer here.
