We woke at 3 and having already packed our bags the previous night we snuck out to fatimas backpackers, 20 mins away. Fatamas do a Dior to door bus from Tofo to Maputo every morning, which was priceless for us. Yet again I attracted the biggest momma on the bus who looked like she enjoyed sweating on me whilst squeezing me against the window for the 9 hour journey... Once in Maputo, we dropped out bags and locked valuables away except passports, police often ch...

Trying to nurse a hangover when it's 38deg+ is pretty hard work. Needing to hydrate yourself when all the water I had tasted like a swimming pool with a fresh dose of chlorine! Yuk! We battled on. Walking the length on the beach to peri peri divers to see what time the safari was, took some effort, especially as the last 200m are up some severe steps! News was bad, due to the lack of sharks, know one even wants to try, meaning no safari for us!! So it turned in...

Today was the day!! Tom and I had booked on an ocean safari today.

The sea was really choppy, and although I admired the captain for his control of the rib I was b...

Gregor and co asked us last night if we'd like to join them on a trip down to the beaches south if Tofo since there is meant to be an on shore reef to snorkel. We wouldn't have got to go on our own as 4x4 only, no busses. So we snapped at the chance, especially as Alfred said no whale sharks had been seen in the last fee days.....

Gregor, Eve and Jo picked us up from our backpackers and we headed to Tofo in a Toyota rav4. It took little over 3 hours, when we spoke to sone guys who had taken public transport it had taken them 7!! We were very thankful. On the way we saw miles and miles of coconut palm trees! Eve also had a slight obsession for mangos, and rightly so! She managed to buy two shopping bags full of fresh mangos from some boys at the road side for £1.20! Tofo beach was stunnin...
