It is holiday time, and we are back in Mozambique to enjoy the warm weather and the company of family and friends!
We were in one of our favourite beaches, Ponta do Ouro, with its beautiful blue and greenish deep sea water and white sands. White waves breaking into the sharp rocks with natural pools full of sea live, fish, shells and corals. The deep green mangrove vegetation and creamy white and soft dunes.
So much beauty, still so intact, despite the many developments in the last 20 years (after the civil war that devastated many of the villages). Many private houses are now nicely repaiered or rebuildt. We met many old friends there like in old days…
Because we just went and came back between Christmas and New Year, we just avoided the usual hours of queues to the ferry boat that takes us to the other side of the bay. Very unusual to have such a smooth and pleasant trip!
We stayed again in the very confortable wooden houses just facing the beach, 5 minutes’ walk down to the sea.
The last time we have been there was 2 years ago. Many things changed, new restaurants appeared, old restaurants disappeared (some were destroyed by fires) others changed ownership (and decreased quality), but the enchantment is still there! It is indeed a special and lively place!
