Day one - Mozambique

Our last day in Pearl Valley started very early with 03.10 alarm and 04.15 pick-up on our way to Cape Town International for our flight to Maputo. With only two international flights departing before 7.00 the airport was very quiet - even had time for a chat with the immigration officer who answered a couple of important questions for us.

As the flight was only one third full we got exit seats  -for a comfortable, uneventful journey. Arrived on time to be greeted by Leo who had come from Bilene to collect us.and drive us 4 hrs back. Passed through a speed trap in almost every town and village but Leo was wise to them.

Stopping at a bottle shop as we arrived and then on to our lagoon front lodge. 5 minute walk along the white sand to the beach club and 7 mins more to the restaurant. What could be better!I

Cold beer tasted good before we unpacked, settled in and then went in search of a sundowner and dinner.

Don't know how I will cope with 4 days of this!
