Mozambique Part 5

Carpentry, Dogs and Departures. That sums it up, pretty much. 
This was a murderously hot workshop. With great furniture!

Mozambique Part 4

Downtown Maputo, the old Portugese fort, and some other bits. 
Here be zombies.
Another easy mark.

Mozambique Part 3

Here are some more shots, hanging out in Ponta before returning to Maputo on the Sunday. We were stuck in Katemba, south across the water from Maputo, waiting on the ferry for about two hours are the early tropical night crept up on us. The following morning we learned that the pontoon between the vessels and the mooring jetty(on which our vehicle was sitting for about ten minutes while boarding) had sank mere minutes after he had crossed over it. Close call that we had no knowledge of at the time! 

After this adventure, the following day, we ventured into Maputo proper, which is an experience all unto itself.

Mozambique Part 2

Day two and three in Ponta D'Ouro near the South African border. It was all pretty leisurely, surfing and hanging about with my sister's family. Also went on a brief site visit with my brother-in-law before hitting the road back to
Maputo, but more of that in the next post.

No, I will not be eating that.
