We were off to celebrate my good friends 30th Birthday Party in Paradise (Mozambique/Ponto De Ouro)
We had been travelling locally on and off for weeks and were welcoming the idea of lying on the beach sipping rum and Raspberry for 5 days. While we did this……there was also lots of activity, walking, eating and drinking.
Day 1, 2 and 3 we explored the town of Ponto, we walked the sandy streets and local salesmen trying to you in their shops to purchase their goods, anything from beautifully wooden carved key rings, local beer bottles, serving platters and more. Literally anything was sold from these road side shops, from clothes, alcohol to coconut ice cream and wedding dresses.
The smell of freshly baked bread, we found the most delightful bakery that sold freshly baked goods on a daily basis, our firm favourite quickly became a Portuguese dessert called pasteis de nata, custard and pastry where can you go wrong.
We drove about 15km to find a restaurant called 360degrees and had the best peri peri chicken with the most amazing views stretching to the boarder of South Africa.
Our days started with early morning runs on the beach, coffee with a sea view and ended with sun kissed bodies with the smell of factor 50 sunscreen and full bellies.
Ah bliss….but the adventure was just about to begin
