| Another Wonderful Sunrise in Africa |
The day was spent relaxing on the beach and battering with
some curio sellers all in all a very relaxing day in a great place. Mozambique
must be unique in as much as you get millionaire mansions and next door is a
thatched hut some of, what we would call prime sites with the best view in
South Africa are occupied by the very poor and everything seems to work well.
I can imagine these coastal towns up as far North as
Vilankulos are extremely busy in the RSA holiday months, like December, but I
believe the potential is unlimited between Vilankulos and Beira and Beira and
Pemba on the other hand probably that is not a bad thing to leave some of
Africa unspoilt.
We get so mixed up with the exchange rate for the country
you are in when you have visited 6 countries in the space of two months and one
should carry a calculator and the exchange rate for the country you are
currently in, all it is for is to get some sort of benchmark to ones home
currency particularly when you are negotiating. I saw a South African lady
agreeing with a vendor that she would buy the goods on offer for R300 and pay
in Rand instead of in Meticais and he was
asking for 600 Mets which is the equivalent of R200, needless to say he snapped
up the deal and probably could not believe his luck.
Tomorrow we head for Inhambane or to be exact Tofu Beach
