25 October
Yesterday I went snorkelling in the Bazarute Archipelago (Mozambique), also called the ilhas do paradiso! Idyllic Desert islands with dunes, coral shores, flamingos and 1000s of colourful fish.
From tomorrow I will start heading south towards capital Maputo. First stop is at Inhambane (charming old colonial town), and nearby Tofo beach. Boats from here go out to see manta rays and whale shark. Water quite choppy though, not sure if i fancy snorkelling out there! Will make enquiries first about safety, and also weather/visibility. Coast is practically all owned by South Africans from here south. Its a surprising expensive country, considering the general poverty. Good music scene, especially the rap (in portugese). Chilling in a garden today (got cut on coral yesterday, will keep dry for 2 days), at least 25 species of bird already popped in today! Saw the most incredible bright orange coloured full moon yesterday, did not have camera!

Coral cut on sole of foot still quite sore, will just read / chill today as walking hurts. Got a little reed hut directly over a great beach. Heard whale shark experience not that great with snorkel anyway. Now hobbling off for some breakfast.
