Day 52 – Praia do Tofo, Mozambique

Claudia and Sinead Singing Rock a Bye Baby
We had a problem capturing some of the whale displays

This Pod of 8 Whales
Casa John is probably one of the best equipped self catering units we have ever stayed in and the daily servicing is excellent, including fresh seafood on your doorstep, I gave one such vendor 10 out of ten for perseverance when I did not take his king tiger prawns he offered to bring me crayfish, calamari, rock cod, or red roman for the next day.

We see a feast of whales going past daily, I do not know what it is about whale watching, but it seems to become quite addictive. In the evening we went for a walk down on the rocks and we had a show of waves pounding the rocks, whales and dolphins frolicking together offshore and a perfect sunset and later we enjoyed our sundowners.

We did some wheeling dealing for everything from eggs to carrots to fish and carvings and went to find the Deli, Karen told us about, but alas Karen it has closed down, but we did get bread and a couple of other essentials. You buy vegetables here by the single item like 3 carrots, 6 potatoes, 1 paw paw and so on and it is very expensive even after some fierce negotiations, if anyone comes down this way bring all your food with you except sea food.

There is no doubt about it seafood fresh from the sea as opposed to frozen is so deliciously different.

Today we have grilled king prawns with lemon butter sauce and garlic butter sauce and Portuguese rice; I am drooling just writing about it.
