Day 7: Maputo - Inhambane
It was yet another early wake up for the Boyz on Bikes and after picking at our packed breakfasts from the Palano Hotel, we were off into the cold, quiet streets of Maputo. We spent the first part of the morning driving through bank after bank of cold mist, become awfully friendly with our hand warmers and after a magnificent sunrise we were settled in for a long drive. In Xai Xai we stopped to refill and get some coffee, we managed to find a small little ‘shebeen’ that would make us some coffee and Mark bought some fresh croissants from the ‘local bakery’. After a rustic meal we were back on the road and onto Quissico, where we were met with the most spectacular view. Our final hurdle of the day was the last kilometre of sandy road to Casa Barry, which proved to be a little too much for the Bristow family, each of them spending some quality time playing in the sand pit. Dinner was relaxing and we all look forward to a ‘late’ start tomorrow, our late start being a 6am wake up.
