21 October - Mozambique - Tete, Catandica & Vilanculos Beach


Had a great time at the music festival. Camping on the beach at Monkey Bay. Love this place, and Malawi in general. Lake much better than sea! Finally broke away from the Lake Malawi spell on the 20th! Highlight was probably rowing out to small islands in a traditional dug out canoe and snorkelling amidst extraordinarily colourful Cichlid Fish and watching African Fish Eagles swoop down to catch fish.

Also made it up to the  cool Zomba Plateau, before finishing the day at the main commercial city Blantyre. 

I crossed into Mozambique on 21st. It was a punishing 9 hour ride through southern Africa hotest region, around town called Tete on the Zambezi River! Had a 30 min wait in midday sun due to bridge repair work, inside my suit the sweat dripped like a tap! Well, I suppose I chose to do this! 

Made it as far as a very small town called Catandica . Am generally aiming towards Vilanculos Beach.
