"Go to Mozambique! As long as you don't expect to find flawless infrastructure, just go. Because this is a country where people have not quite grown accustomed to tourists. You still feel a genuineness that no longer exists in countries where tourism has been industrially developed" - Henning Mankell I'm not going to write much about this trip at all because I actually don't enjoy writing as much as I thought I did. Photo's though, that I love, so tons of pics. This Mozambique adventure was an awesome road trip filled with laughter, good music, bad music (on repeat) and some awesome new friends. The trip had a few hiccups along the way but honestly they all added to the experience, I can honestly say trip was anything but boring. Our van got stuck in sand, we paid bribes at roadblocks because of dodge and corrupt police officials, people were handcuffed and thrown into police cars. On top of all this drama I didn't even bother to take any malaria tablets :-). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone one, be safe out there. Long story short we drove up on a Wednesday night (reaching our spectacular destination on Thursday evening!) and back on Sunday morning. The weekend was fun. Our awesome accommodation in Tofo was Vanilla Views If you ever do this trip, rent a 4x4, lots of sand in Tofo! The "golden hour" in Moz is indeed golden! To end of I just want to say the locals were all friendly and very helpful, the only people you should stay away from are the police!, And never under any circumstances should you take any pictures of them, it will lead to needless and avoidable headaches.. We learned that the hard way.

Ponta is an awesome spot, I was there 2 years ago, I hope the roads leading to it have been fixed because I remember them being such a nightmare
