Spent some time at a couple of places on the Indian Ocean, Chocas and Fim do Mondo. The snorkelling was very good and the water so warm and clear. At Chocas they were selling fish and lobster on the beach. We bought a fish like a red snapper for around 25p and cooked it on the fire. We were on the edge of the mangrove area here which meant there was a Lagoon to swim in as well as the sea. The crutaceans were of an amazing variety and colour but were all sold very quickly so we didnt get the opportunity to taste them. The people here were less friendly than in Malawi but our lack of Portugese doesn’t help.
We encountered the worst roads yet here in Mozambique. Some of the potholes could swallow elephants! We hence found a different route back to Malawi to avoid the bad part we encountered. There were many signs of the Civil War including many missing road bridges and abandonned bullet-ridden buildings. However it is definitely worth the effort.
