Mozambique our new home!

 We are finally here! Beira is the second largest city in the country. Please read our page "Why Mozambique?"located on a side column for you to understand a little bit about our African adventure. For our Portuguese speaking friends - para amigos e familiares que falam so Portugues por favor usem  the google translation menu acima. 

 Fish is found everywhere in Beira. This is a sample picture taken from one of the local fishing villages.

 I am so glad I hadn't  given up on Bob's cooking. He now bakes the best pizza in Beira!  Peter taught him just before he left!

Ocean view from Roberta's first apartment. Beautiful view, but you can't swim in that water!

 Maputo is the capital of the country. This is a view from our daughter's  old apartment. She now lives in another one as rents are going up like crazy.

 A market along  the road. We have the most delicious mangoes here in Mozambique,  as well as papayas, avocados, pineapples.  I had to give up  on loosing weight here!

 We stopped in Vilankulos on our way to Beira from Maputo for R&R. Nobody can drive 18 hours straight on the roads here. This was a great stop! The islands of Bazaruto are just fantastic!

 People walk everywhere here. I could not believe how many people I saw walking on the roads. Car accidents are another important killer in this country.

 Just a quick peek at the pot holes we had to deal with on our way from Maputo to Beira. We have a great car, a four wheel drive Toyota Prado 1997 that Roberta and Morten found for us!  It was imported directly from Japan to ride the special roads of Mozambique!

 This baobab tree was along the road from Maputo to Beira.
