We finally arrived in Mozambique and I have to say it was well worth the effort! The white beaches, faded Portuguese charm, some of the most pristine corals I've ever seen, rock formations rearing up out of nowhere before melting back into the green expanses or red earth plains made it one of the most scenically dramatic countries yet and that's saying something after the Serengeti! It was also, seemingly, one of the most advanced in terms of male and female equality we'd been to in Africa so far (not that that is saying much to be honest!). It would seem [View Full Entry]

How on Earth did it get to Christmas so quickly?!
