Geo: -16.1646, 33.5873Vilanculos – Tete via Maputo… Ou comment aller à 650km au nord-ouest en commençant par en faire 700 vers le sud-ouest (et donc ensuite plus de 1000 du sud au nord).Le bus express Vilanculos – Maputo part théoriquement à 3:30 (pas à 15:30)… En pratique, il a démarré à 3:32 à l'horloge du bus, qui avance de 5 minutes. Le bus, de construction chinoise, serait assez confortable pour un trajet urbain, mais, même si le nombre de passagers n'a presque pas dépassé celui des places assises, on y est tout de même relativement serré. Il n'y a pas de clim mais les fenêtres s'ouvrent, ce qui est indispensable pour faire ses emplettes en cours de route… et ferment mal, afin de permettre d'humecter les passagers par temps de pl... read more

On July 16th, we wntered Mozambique. This was by far teh hardest boarder crossing that we have had yet. It took 3.5 hours just to get into the country. If felt like a morning well wasted, especially since we all knew that we were only going to drive through the country.
