Stuck!

Today the water supply in our accomodation had run dry, so we really HAD to take that dip in the ocean….We enlisted the help of a local lad who was still on school holidays to show us Xai Xai.
By default we stumbled upon the most wonderful Pesaõ Africano, a local hotel and restaurant, just across the road from the central market. The owner’s daughter-in-law was utterly charming and the interior classic. Sean shot a photo serie while we chatted and were invited to taste some of the dishes served there.
It was time to return to Maputo to start the last leg of this first trip. Of course we first managed to get our vehicle stuck in the sand-city slickers…We settled into our new accomodation and did prep for the next day’s photography session. The evening was spent at a hotel with wireless internet, catching up on admin and updating our blog. Then nastiest thing happened, in front of our Maputo accomodation we were robbed. Our attackers tried to take the car, somehow in the scuffle Sean managed to fob them off, sadly they got away with Ingmar’s laptop. We were shaken and shocked, this incident really put a damper on things for quite some time.
