18 NOVEMBER LAST DAY IN MOZAMBIQUE AND LAST IN AFRICA

We got up, had breakfast, then decided we’d walk back to the spa.  It’s the first really sunny day we’ve had in a while.  The view from up there was gorgeous.

We went back to our room and walked up the beach looking for shells.  The tide was out and the shore was a combination of sand and mud.  Great for wading birds looking for snacks.

We had lunch by the pool.  The Mozambique speciality is peri-peri chili flavor.  We had tasted it in a fast food place in Vancouver, Canada and in Washington DC called Nandos.  This is really a delicious treat!

We hung around a bit more, then at 4:30 we walked to the “Beach Club” which was the place we landed when we first arrived.  We took a Dhou Sunset cruise.  Another couple with us were from South Africa (Joberg) .  They’ll be going home tomorrow and will be on our boat ride and flight from Vilanculos to Johannesburg.  We, of course, will keep on going - two more plane flights before we get home.  The sunset sail was beautiful, peaceful, and, with our South African partners, friendly.

Here are a few photos

Some views from the resorts spa at the top of the hill.  The resort's boats.  The little red kayak was a way of ferrying out things to the boats.

The cliff the children climbed is seen better in the photo above.

The spa had a pool that the birds thought was just perfect.


On the walk back to the cabin, we noticed the sand dunes in the distance.

Tomorrow home - eventually.
