Mozambique photos

I have a love affair with travelling which started very early in life. I am forever grateful to my folks who travelled with us all over SA and for introducing the joy of getting out of ones' daily routine-priceless! I now travel to learn and grow,to challenge myself, stretch my limits and foster an appreciation for the world around me and its people and ultimately the chair that awaits me back home!
My older sister taught me this psalm and am going to write it in my mother tongue
Lefatshe ke la Jehova le tsohle tse ho lona, lefatshe le batho be ahileng ho lona(the earth is the Lords and its fullness the earth and all who live in it!)

By the reason of the statement made above by the word of God, I have every reason,excuse etc to travel the world, after all it belongs to the Lord!

MY BIRTHDAY







Streets of Maputo





Lerato fast asleep, shame my baby sister and partner on the street.



CHRISTMAS MORNING






Paw-paw juice(not nice) and coconut  cake with jam (very nice)








We paid so much money in this cab,hai the price you pay for being a tourist.

The police station






MET A YOUNG MAN WHO WAS KIND TO INVITE US INTO HIS HOME IN MATOLA(A PLACE JUST OUTSIDE TOWN) FOR CHRISTMAS LUNCH. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE.TEARY JUST WRITING ABOUT IT!


Our friend Secha


His mother

His grandpa and his two lovely wives

The local beer Sura

Drinking  Sura.I must admit I loved the taste!


Snacking,this is not the actual lunch but rather what we had after lunch.


We danced!

CHRISTMAS NIGHT AT THE BEACH




THE DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET



















We both did not like the coconut taste












Fish market





To wrap up a good day, we went to this cool place where you can buy fresh sea food and they prepare it for you on the spot. This market/restaurant is a busy tourist attraction and the who's who of the world stop here for some local cuisine. Anyone who knows me will tell you I am not a fan of any sea food but I must say  I enjoyed their fish,oysters and prawns. They play live music and I could not resist going on the stage/dance floor and dancing my butt off lol,besides everybody was a tourist there.

THE DAY WE SPEND ON THE ROAD TO NOWHERE-FLIP I LOVE MAPUTO










We where literally on the road until it was time to go to bed!





 Highlights of the day. sitting on a roadside shop drinking something cold and listening to Sade  and singing along to " think I'll leave your side baby,you know me better than that,think I'll leave you when you down on your knees...... and we had pork at a chesa nyama (totally insane,I know)

THE CRAZY

In the rain




Its raining mad!


Watching the stars at the beach




Shouting and oh so H A P P Y!


We got stuck on this road(axact spot) twice on the same day with different cars-craaaazy hey!


WHAT WE CAUGHT ON CAMERA








They smell just as good!
