Maputo and Shirley

After the rafting, we got our passports stamped in the Swazi capital with visas for Mocambique (80Rand in Mbabane while 150R at the border), we got on the local bus from Manzini and sat the ride out to Maputo, the capital of Mocambique (50R/person). Arriving two hours later than expected, we got a ride through dark and rainy Maputo to Shirley’s apartment, which is right in the centre (on 24 de Julho).

The day after, still pouring, but since Estelle had only one day, we decided to face the elements and walked around town, arranging her plane ticket back and stuff like that. On our last night, we ventured in the Maputo night life, with a taxi that dropped us at one of the thousand bar where a live band is playing Afrojazz. It had been a while since we’d danced the night away (since Plett actually), so it felt good to shake it again…
