Two Days on Ilha de Moçambique

Ilha de Moçambique/Mozambique Island/The Island of Mozambique is the most touristy spot I’ve visited in Mozambique so far. However, that’s not really saying all that much considering I’m in Northern Mozambique. It is considerably less developed here than it is down south (where it is closer to South Africa), but I’ve also found the people much more friendly than in Maputo so…

Mozambique Island used to be the capital of Mozambique, and from what I was told, the first place the Portuguese settled. Mozambique has since become independant, and as such all that seems to be of the Portuguese are the old crumbling buildings and the use of Portugueuse as the main language. The island is a UNESCO world heritage site, and walking around the island you can see people painting or repairing dilapidated buildings. 

An Unpleasant Trip to Nosy Komba and Snorkelling at Nosy Tanikely

After spending the past 3 days doing literally nothing except swimming in the pool, reading, eating and sleeping, it was time to get out and actually do something in Nosy Be. Staying at this resort is super nice, but isn’t making me particularly adventurous when it is just so easy and comfortable to stay where you are (plus when the days are so hot and the pool is so cool).
