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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Aubergines with honey…or in Spanish… berenjenas con miel I had this dish twice in Spain during our stay, the first time in a restaurant in Alhaurin el Grande and the second time in Casarabonela. It certainly was not a combination of two ingredients that I would put together, so I had to try it. It [...]

Having had to make do with Chinese after spotting those gorgeous sardines down on the beach, we were beyond delighted to find a little restaurant called Pena Flamenca Alcasarin in the town of Monda which had its very own little boat with sardines cooking outside the front door!! Monda is a small town, just off [...]
