Ponta Mamoli - Mozambique I







For those who live near the sea and beach (sentosa is counted!), you are really lucky! It took us 8 hours of driving to get to this place. Africa is a big continent! But it was a really nice break. I miss the smell of the sea.

Day 1
Nomsa : I am scared of the ocean
Nate to Loren : No dada. don't go in the water, lets go back, there are crabs
Ike : pointing to land, away from ocean, ooh ooh (head back?)

Day 2
Nomsa : After splishing around, wears shorts instead, jumps around the surf
Nate : picks seashells
Ike : plays in the sand at the halfway point

Day 3
Nomsa : trying to get salt water to bring home to her family (???)
Nate : playing at the waters edge jumping around, enjoying the wet sand and drinking the salty water
Ike : bopping towards the ocean

We got to do some yoga, see strange seeds, saw a few pods of dolphins, a mother and child humback whale, snorkelling, no horse riding (no nate's helmet size). Ike did lots of eating (whats new?), naps, ahhhh.... all to the sound of crashing waves.

Ike and Nomsa shared a chalet, she now knows why we sleep with our dogs and not the boys. Ike consistently woke at 4am and then decided for 2 nights to wake at 12 for a milk snack and chat! Got home he slept all the way to 5am again.
