mozambique

Learned many things on this trip. Among them:
  1. Doesn’t hurt to travel (especially in Africa) with a little more planning than knowing there are some  beautiful beaches somewhere in a country.
  2. There really is no limit to the number of people you can fit in a clown-car—I mean, mini-bus.
  3. Maputo has it’s own beaches…you don’t have to travel for an additional 4 hours in own of these vehicles to get to a lake.
  4. A bum without a pimple is a bum not not.
Saw a lot of real, un-touristy Mozambique. The most polarized trip I’ve ever been on. Got there by traveling for a total of 18 hours (taxi, shuttle, plane, taxi, bus, bus, taxi, minibus, minibus, car) to stay at a house in the middle of nowhere. Got back with a direct 2 hour flight after staying in a beach-front resort with an infinity pool. Definitely the adventure of a lifetime. Cheers to being young and reckless.
