Indian Ocean,
I woke up at ten the next morning and I felt a little bit less shook. It had been a hard day on Sunday and I was ready for some chillaxin on the beach. We talked to the owner of the lodge and I think he felt sorry for us because he arranged a bit of breakfast for us and sorted out a better rate for the night before. It as decent of him and he gave us some advice about where to stay next. We headed down the road to another lodge and threw our bags on the floor and hit the beach. It was great to be on the sand again ironically enough. The Indian Ocean was beautiful and the water was lovely and warm. The waves on the beach were nice too and the sand was a lovely whitish brown. I did a bit of swimming initially and saw some cool fish. We did some body surfing and had a few cold ones on the beach and the sea washed all our troubles away. I had my first Dos M or 2 M which is the nice beer in Mozambique. The two M’s stand for Mac and Mahon and I’d hazard a guess that there is some Oirish connection there! They tasted good anyway!
We met some of the guys from the college who had come down to do some diving and they had had a similar experience in the sand to us. They had to sleep in the car one of the nights. Not nice having experienced a few hours of it ourselves. They didn’t think they would leave the same way as we had come and were planning on going further south and exiting the country at the border with Swaziland. It hadn’t been a pleasant experience for them either but I guess that’s all part of the adventure.
