Things that Annoyed Charly today...
Maputo
,
Mozambique
Today everyhting that could go wrong- did today:-
I had a restless night's sleep, with a huge headache
Neither mine or Chris' bank cards were working so we had to leave
Swaziland
early as we didn't have money
The banks refused to change our currency as we didn't have an account with them
I left the ring Chris brought me in Venice at
Swaziland
The lady at the
Swaziland
border asked me loads of questions and I couldn't understand her so we both got very annoyed with each other
The guy behind the counter wouldn't accept dollars for the visa- only rand, so took our last rand and wouldn't give us change- until he saw that we weren't leaving without it.
Chris then had to buy even more car insurance to enter Mozambique and then they kept begging him for more money.
I got attacked by a swarm of children at the petrol station for sweets, then one accidentally punched me in the face
We couldn't find any accommodation in Maputo so had to drive 4 hours further than planned
I got ripped off buying a high vis jacket (an essential in Mozambique) by giving the guy rand instead of meticas, 5x the amount he asked for as I got mixed up with all the currency we had on us. Chris thought it was hilarious, I was fuming
We got stopped by the police for no reason at all.
We had no choice but spend 70 pound pp for a night's accomodation as there was no where else.
A very stressful day...
