DAY 16 – A FULL DAY IN VILANCULOS

Woke up slow and lazed by the pool with a cuppa Motherland in hand. Manda took a dow out with the Retired Rentals and spent her day relaxing in the sunshine and snorkling with some colourful fishies.

Kitty and Dani went into town with Plan B and JP from Goofy Gophers. Explored the village a bit and met up with The Natives at the local bakery and sampled some custard rolls, doughnuts and rice cakes. Delish! On the way picked up some bits and pieces for lunch/dinner and stopped for a drink at a local bar. Lazed about in hammocks and sipped rum from a coconut. Blissful. Picked up some of the famous local rum too, Tipo Tinto. Looks a bit like petrol but probably a lot better tasting. Don't drink petrol. Drink rum that looks like the stuff.

Took a dip in the ocean with a cuppa of the Tinto in hand, made a quick braai broodjie for lunch (as well as prebroodjie braai broodjies) and dinner was 5kgs of prawns and two giant crayfish. Of course. Kitty patched up another hole in our mattress which makes that a record four! Successful day in Vilankulos!

It’s becoming more and more apparent that we are getting Africa Holiday Brain. Shut down complete. Tomorrow is only 4 hours to Inhambane. We take it slow. Africa time.
