Cross-Mozambique

Friends, family,

After having spent the majority of last week in a Toyota 4x4 – Mozambique is HUGE – I have finally found some time to log on and update.

Currently, I am in Ilha de Moçambique, a small UNESCO world heritage island of a mere 3km long and a max width of 500m. Some amazing pictures (including one that should become the cover of the next Lonely Planet for Mozambique) will follow once I am able to log on with my own laptop, probably at the end of the coming week once I’m back in Maputo. For the first time in basically two weeks, I have some spare time on my hands, and can enjoy my Saturday relaxing and reading a book, updating the blog, making plans for the upcoming week.

Tomorrow, I’ll go back to Nampula, 3rd biggest city in Mozambique, where I’ll start doing some work for a couple of days. I will then make my way back in stages until I reach Maputo, probably by the same time next week.

Internet time is precious, so I’ll keep it short for now.

p.s. I have recovered from the mental shock of the tragic accident I witnessed last Monday (see previous entry). I still think about it multiple times a day, but have been able to place it in my head. I will carry it with me for the rest of my life, of that I am sure. But I am here now in Mozambique, trying to make a difference for these children that are currently walking the side of the road from one village to the next.
