Hi Jasper, Looks like you are experiencing Africa to its full- the good and the bad - perhaps you are beginning to understand why in the colonlal times they referred to isot as Darkest Africa- but it has soul that you cannot mistake and I sense that you have experienced that as well- Mozambique is beautiful- I went there as a child when it was still really a Portuguese colony to all intents and purposes as the Portuguese population still ran everything..you will be coming in I think through Northern Natal (Sodwana Bay) in to Zululand if you going direct south (unless you are planning to head into Zimbabwe first- need to make sure if you are off the beaten track that you avoid the landmines.- let me know your plans and I can get you in touch with my sister where you may be able to have a few days with a hot shower - only maybe- sometimes the water there too is dicey!! Your mom sent me your blog today- it made me laugh and cry as I read through your journeys - what an experience you must be having- keep up the journals..maybe your next book should be Conrad's Heart of Darkness- you might be able to relate from where you are now Love Jane

Wow, fascinating
I'm going to Beira in mid-July and found your blog by accident. Amazing! Amazing! Should you have a chance to post photos I'd be ecstatic. Keep trucking!
