When you wake up in the morning and your foot is itching again, then it is time to move on.
Interesting times were spent at Fat Monkeys camp site, Cape Maclear, side by side with the villagers and we realized that we could stay longer but tomorrow would be the same as yesterday and the same as the day after and actually, we needed to move on. Over half of our adventure still remains in the exploring of part of our own South Africa.
Fat Monkeys campsite
We paddled out to West Thumbi island to snorkel for Cichlids.
A village walk - always followers, for kms past their houses.
Supper was had here in the pitch dark - chambo fish, nsima (like sadza/putu) and salad and no utensils.
Some have commented that we are going fast and others that we are taking a long time. The plan (what there is of one) is still fairly relevant. We hope to be in the Cape in early December. I want to watch the Sevens Rugby in Cape Town which is on about 11 December. Liam, my nephew, coaches the Canadian team. So - September in Mocambique, October in Swaziland and KZN and then there is only a month left to get to the Cape ( and check out a lot of prospective places). It's a hard life but we are managing.
Tonight we are at Buffalo Camp down in the Save River area of Mocambique. We woke this morning in Tete to cloud and rain - total shock as we have only experienced cloudless blue sky days since our start. It has rained on and off the whole day and is raining now at 7.30 pm. It appears our understanding has been terminated and someone has decided to 'p' on our safari. We have had the most glorious days every single day up to today. However this area is probably drier than Richards Bay and so we are happy, as always, for the 'p'.
Tomorrow we hit the beach again and we hope to visit a number of places which we have been told about.
