hi everyone, i am now in vilankulos by the coast

hi everyone,

i am now in vilankulos by the coast on the Indian Ocean, probably about 1000 km from maputo, the capital of mozambique. well, i totally love it! Maputo is a great city and realy reminds me to Dakar, so I felt a bit like at home!

After spending a few days in maputo, i headed to Tofo where I met a bunch of backpackers from Germany, Australia, UK and Canada. SO , for those who are worried about me being too much on my own  DO NOT WORRY ANYMORE :)  We had great fun, partying, eating, playing silly games ( the murderer game for those who know it). but the best of it is that I am now a diver!!!!!!!!!!! yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man . I passed my open water I course! well, it was hard: having to study physics and maths while on holiday was a pain. But breathing under water, removing your mask while at 16m underwater or trying to sit like a buddha without touching the ground was the most challenging parts of this 4-day course! but I loved it and I am glad I did it!

I am now in Vilankulos with some of the guys I met in Tofo. I"ll be spending a few days exploring the islands and will then head north to Ihla di Mocambique and then Pemba!

voila,

richard, you're right about Maputo- really much enjoyed it! people are very friendly and the atmosphere is very chilled!
