Aquatico lodge!

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


Aquatico Beach
In the morning we went for a little trip around Tofo, finding a lovely little deli where we made a couple of friends who found us some much better accomodation, which a lot cheaper right on the beach! So we swiftly moved all of our things out of Bamboozi lodge into Aquatico receiving a frosty goodbye from reception. In the evening we went out to an all-you-can-eat pizza evening and I out-ate Chris by 5 slices whilst being eaten myself alive by mosquitoes :(

:( :( Poorly Toe! :( :(

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


My Poorly Foot
After going for a lovely long walk along the beach we went to check out going on an ocean safari. Luckily, we didn't book one as an hour later I tripped up outside the deli on a step and ripped half of my big toe nail off! Blood squited out everywhere and the pain was so bad I though I might faint. I couldn't put a picture of the actual wound up as it's so vile but here's one bandaged up after covering it in anticeptic...

Partying

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


A Boat
I woke up to find Chris watching the whales jump out of the sea in the distance. It's amazing how clear you can see them! We had a lovely day even though we couldn't do a lot due to my toe as it's hard to walk, but in the evening we went out to Dino's- which is the local bar and had a great night, but unfortunately unable to dance. I haven't a clue what time I managed to drag Chris away but I'm sure the sun wasn't far from rising.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


Tofo Beach
Myself and Chris eventually woke up at 2:30pm, Chris with a raging hang-over and ate till we were fit to burst to soak some of the alcohol up! However, that was pretty much all we did as we fell asleep around 7pm. Pretty wasteful day but we feel so much better for it!

Night Out With Friends

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


a boat

Women having to transport things through the water!

We had a great day today relaxing outside our little home reading in the gorgeous sunshine then making a couple of new friends, Sam and Mags who we later invited out to dinner with us in the evening. Had a great night, drinking till quite late at Tofo Tofo and then back at ours.

Exploring

Inhambane, Mozambique


Sunrise

swimming pool
This morning we woke up to catch a glimpse of the lovely Sunrise before getting up to explore somewhere new. We found an amazing hotel which was we ate a lovely lunch- only purchased as we wanted to use the pool! Although the weather was lovely it was so windy that we tried to play cards later in the evening but was difficult as they kept blowing everywhere.

Windy day

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


another boat

Chilli's- the deli
Not much to say about today as we didn't do much as it was too windy and to cold to do anything! So went spent 4 hours in a deli eating some nice Comfort food and spent the rest of the day reading. It was far too cold to go to Tofo Tofo, so had a very disappointing pizza at Dino's with a few additions to the pizza which I didn't order, such as thick lumps of fat! So watch out eating in a dimly lighted room!

Another Windy day

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


Me and Chris

Our front garden!
Today was just as bad as the day before, which also meant that the sea was impossible to go in as it was so dangerous; they weren't even launching boats! However, Chris was outside reading his book watching kids as young as 3 and 4 playing in the sea whilst their parents enjoyed a beer! He though he may have to go and rescue them when one disappeared for a minute finally coming up crying. The parents didn't even notice! In the evening we went to Casa Barry to listen to a whale shark talk in preparation for our ocean safari which we still hope to do. However, we have 'till Saturday for the sea to calm down before we move on, so keep your fingers crossed for us!

Lovely Walk

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


Menu at Black and Whites. Very simple!

Gorgeous beach
Today we went on a lovely walk to Casa Barry completely the other side of the beach and although it was still windy the sun was shining. However we couldn't spend long there as the weather was still awful so we were afraid of being cut off. We found another amazingly cheap place in the heart of the market called black and whites which served basic yet tasty food. Even though the rice was served to us cold we could hardly complain as it worked out just over 1 pound each! Bargain

Friday

Praia do Tofo, Mozambique


The beach
Had a nice day today,
booked our ocean safari for tomorrow,
but they're still not launching boats
so we pray they do!
Went out in the evening for an opening party at Turtle Cove,
we had a great night,
lovin' the complimentary pork rolls!
When we were walking home at night
I thought it was strange that a half moon in Mozambique is upside down?!
