We left early at ‘Beach Village’ to go to Chimoio, a small city in Central Mozambique, close to the Zimbabwean border. On our way to Chimoio we were pulled over by the police for the very first time. They checked all our documents, and after a few minutes we could already leave as everything was fine.
In Chimoio we are going to spend the night in the Pink Papaya, a backpacker owned by a German couple. We booked a double room, but because of a mistake they let another couple into that room. We are now going to sleep in the second double room, in an old caravan that is standing in the yard. On our way to Chimoio we noticed that there was a Shoprite, so we went to have a look in the afternoon. And yes!, finally we found some nicely packed meat. So tonight we’ll have our first and last braai in Mozambique.
In the afternoon we relaxed a bit in the lounge of the Pink Papaya where we saw the neighbour’s children playing in their yard and chasing a chicken. So we took some pictures of that of course. We also met some nice people from Israel who were also traveling through Africa. And in our backpacker was also a guy from Belgium, Erik. We had a nice braai together.Tomorrow morning we’ll go to Zimbabwe. Let’s hope we get through the border.
