Still moving

(Copied from an email I sent to my mom.)

And, as a further update, we’re now in Mozambique.  We arrived in Maputo last night at about 7 p.m. and found a hostel - Fatima’s - where we’re staying tonight as well.  We walked around Maputo this morning and I think I’ll suggest that we go for a wander again this afternoon; I’m trying to work up the courage to use my camera.  It’s hard - I don’t want to feel too much like a tourist or make myself too much of a “mark”, but at the same time, I don’t want to NOT take photos!  ::shrug::

Tomorrow we’re going to get up really early (taxi at about 5:30 a.m.) to go out to the bus station and catch a bus to Vilankulo, a long (12 hour) slog up the coast.  We’ll stay there a couple of nights, hopefully, and get a chance to go snorkeling (maybe) in the Marine Reserve there.  Then it’s onwards, in a series of long days on buses, up to the Ilha de Mocambique, where we’ll stay for a few days, assuming everything goes right!  :-)

It’s good here, but what with sleeping in the dorms and spending days on buses, I’m feeling pretty tired already.  I’m looking forward to getting up to the Ilha and having a few days of down time.  Who knew that traveling was so exhausting?
