Off to Pomene we go!!!!
I was so happy when the time for our holiday finally arrived. Have been looking forward to this trip for months now. So after a nice and lazy morning, we tossed a couple of essential items in a few bags and got on the road for a nice leisurely drive to Pomene. Such a pleasure that it is a mere 4 or so hours drive away from our Barra home so you can really make a nice day trip out of it and stop at the small little villages along the way if you so wish to.
We stopped at the famous One Stop restaurant in Maxixe from which you can sit and watch the little dhows cross the channel to Inhambane. Still have not been on the dhow, but I am getting better at convincing Dru that all these crazy ideas I have is good for him :)
Having a Sunday snooze, why not!
Not sure what this sign means, but we were on the lookout for huge crabs everywhere. Didn't find any...
Once we stopped at the reserve gate we parked and locked up our car and the lodge came to fetch us in a very dirty, very oily old land rover where we tossed all our luggage, dive gear, fuel, camera equipment etc. on the back and then jumped on to sit on our gear and take in the scenery as we traversed across many sand tracks into a dense forest area and out the other end to find ourselves in paradise.
As far as we were concerned 100% worth the hour to hour and a half long journey with the wind in our faces and having a somewhat warm "2M", pronounced "doge emm", Dru lighting a cigarette right next to four fuel spugs containing a hundred litres of fuel, and ducking and diving so the palm fronds coming overhead don't smack you in the face at a somewhat high speed.
Why not? Lets live on the wild side a little :)
