Now in London...

But before that, let me bring you up to date on the rest of our trip!
On Feb 1 we journeyed to Vilanculos - the journey wasn't the smoothest and involved a half an hour on the back of a pick up, then a 20 minute 'ferry' ride on a diesel glugging old boat loaded up like a minibus...once we arrived in Maxixe, we boarded the slowest Chapa (minibus in Moz) in the world and the four hour trip ended up taking six hours.
We arranged snorkelling the next day, trying for a speedboad but ending up travelling to the reef by dhow. The company was good and the snorkelling was amazing. We also stopped at a huge sand dune that we climbed up - pictures are cool.
The next day we boarded a bus straight to Maputo (yay) as I wanted to celebrate my birthday there - it was a bit of a trying day though as the bus was over ten hours and had a small cockroach problem!
We remaned Feb 4 as my birthday and I was treated to a lovely breakfast and we went to a fancy restaurant for dinner. We really enjoy Maputos vibe but were unfortunately not able to find a great club to go to.
Friday, we travelled to London where we are cozied up in a little hotel...spent yesteday walking around and plan the same for today....it is COLD!
