The end of our Mozambican trip…..

Well after a wonderful 8 days in Mozambique, our time sadly had come to an end and we headed back to South Africa. As I said before I would highly recommend a trip there, the beaches are fantastic and the people are generally unbelievably friendly!!! I hope you enjoyed the journey with me! 

Fishing….

With close to 2,500km’s of coastline, fish and fishing is a big part of life in Mozambique. These local fishermen used to go out in this little wooden row boat when the ocean permitted and usually came back with fish. For those brave enough you can even hire their services and expert knowledge. What was [...]

Mozambique Part 3 – Sunrises, sunsets…

ur Mozambican trip was spent with some very dear friends who live in South Africa. Between us we have 12 children, the oldest being 9 years old and the youngest 18 months. A handful as you can imagine, all needing to be fed, watered and bathed!!! One thing we were always guaranteed of though was [...]

Mozambique Part 2 – Pão – Portuguese Bread…..

For our time in Mozambique we stayed in a small place on the beach about an hour north of Xai-Xai. The beach was about 40 minutes from the main road and the small town of Chissibuca. One of the reasons to head back to the main road, across a rather watery bridge and some seriously [...]

Mozambique – Part 1

We love travelling in Africa and there is nothing better than the sights, smells and sounds of arriving in a new country. Whilst there are many similarities between the countries in the Southern African region, to me they each have their own unique charm. We had the pleasure of visiting Mozambique on our recent trip [...]

Mountains, snow and cheese….

Hi Everyone, Well at last I have managed to get some photos sorted out from our holiday. First stop….Underberg……… Arriving in Underberg, Kwazulu Natal came as a bit of a shock to the system with most nights well below freezing and the days only somewhat warmer! A quick reminder that we were now in the [...]

Back home…

Hi there everyone! Well finally we are back home, after a wonderful few weeks in South Africa and Mozambique with family and friends. After a month of winter weather, freezing in Natal with snow on the Berg and somewhat warmer in Mpumalanga and Mozambique it was quite alarming to arrive in Casablanca to a whopping [...]

Holiday…..

THIS BLOG IS ON HOLIDAY UNTIL 25 JULY   I can hear you all muttering…but you just got back from holiday…yes, yes I know, but this is different. We are heading back home to South Africa for a few weeks. My husband gets to take a well deserved break, we get to see family and [...]

Casarabonela…..

One of the little villages nearby where we were staying was the very picteresque little village called Casarabonela. It is situated in the Guadalhorce Valley, surrounded by olive groves and farmlands and on the perimeter of the Sierre da Les Nieves National Park. It has a population of fewer than 3,000 people and the layout [...]

Gazpacho

One of the best things about summer here and in Europe is the late summer nights you can enjoy! In Spain the sun was only going down at ten at night and here in Morocco we are an hour behind, so it generally goes down at about nine at the moment. Lots of time to [...]
