Malelane SA to Tofu, Mozambique
The 4 U's set off as soon as all our farewells were done heading for the border. SA side was efficient but we struck a few delays on the Moz side so lost 2 hours of travel time. Grrrr & to make matters worse there were so many police stops and 'discussions' about speeding etc. We were stopped 3 times, each stop entailing checking drivers license, vehicle then debating what speed one was doing. On one stop it appeared that we had been speeding !!!! 61km in 60km zone so we paid the fine (got a receipt) and moved on, eventually arriving at Zavora at 7.30pm. A long frustrating day with us all tired from a busy weekend & driving. However it was lovely to be greeted by familiar faces and after a beer and a big plate of prawns all was restored in the world. A great sleep lulled by the crashing waves.

Zavora to Tofo
Our planned sleep in was disturbed by the room cleaner cleaning up around us so we heaved ourselves out of bed & went for a gorgeous beach walk.
After a leisurely breakfast we packed up and took a scenic drive back to the EN1 motorway and onto the next destination of Tofo. We had time to stop along the way to get essential supplies. The local charcoal is excellent & very cheap so we stocked up. The mandarins/ nartjies are also very cheap from the road side so we got a supply .... A huge bucketful for NZ$1.
Today was s short drive so we showed A & G Inhambane & arrived in Tofo around 2pm.
Our self contained Casa is rustic & gorgeous and once again it was great to be welcomed back like old friends. Beers & lunch overlooking the sea were consumed before we went to explore the 'supermarket'.
It was surprisingly well stocked even though there was often only one of each item. Dinner was purchased and we got back to enjoy drinks & a 'braai'. R is getting very proficient at getting the coals just right!
I had got Tilapia (fish) for a change but oh dear!! It was so so salty that the resident cat population benefitted greatly.
