After two days of diving I hopped into my car once again to continue my trip to Inhambane where I wanted to meet Babsi, Petra and Aye-Htun who came from Maputo at 3pm. Unfortunately their GPS led them to a dirt road which could lead to Inhambane but it did not work out for them. [...]

First I love holidays. Obviously. What I do love even more is going to diving during my holidays. So I went with Volkmar, Birgit and Eva to look for Easter eggs on the 2 Mile Reef in Vilanculos.
On previous dives I could not stay under water longer than 40 to 45 minutes. Sometimes even shorter. [...]

And if you even can watch a bowmouthguitarfish, sting rays, firefish, marble reef rays, giant flatheads, moraines and turtles – come on, what [...]

Diving - finally!
May 28th, 2009 · Comments Off · Maputo, Moçambique, Vilanculos
After driving again several hours on the partly very poor street we arrived at the Baobab Beach Campsite in Vilanculos. I really enjoyed it: it is situated close to the sea, not far from the centre of the town, has a small bar which offers also snacks (well, the food could be better) etc. And [...]
