pragtig sunset. kuik hoe mooi.

Matteo left a day earleir than me. so i rode to mozambique alone. it was a long ride. and i rode the whole day. doing more than 500km. mozambique is exotic africa. they speak portughese and it adds a completely unique flavour to the place. its not africa as you know. instead it feels more like cuba. the beautiful old colonial buildings. the people are just so nice and friendly. the country is very close to south africa and so the infrastucture and roads are very good. it all became so tropical again. a nice change after the dry brown country side of johanessburg in winter. the ride was pretty uninventful and fast. there was a wonderul sunset over these rice patty fields with all these tributaries illuminated by the setting sun. i arrived at Tofo. a lovely beach town. good surf, great diving and loads of whale sharks. we met some fantastic people there and started a dinner club. the amazing thing about travelling is the people you meet. we ate dinner and haung out with spanish, german, mexican, israeli, italians, south africans... to name a few... i really find it incredible. we swam with a whale shark on our last day. which was a memorable expereince. i swan along side it for nearly an hour. pumping away to keep up with it. the water was full of jelly fish so it was a bit tricky. i managed to get stung on my tongue. dont know how. at one stage the 9meter beauty came up very close to the surface and i was literally 2 metres from her. a beautiful beautiful moment.
