Trip B Report #6: Inhassoro to XaiXai (12 July 09)



We all got up at six, which took some effort, and were ready to leave at 06h30. We reached Inhambane about lunch time and decided to do a quick detour to see what all the rave is about. We travelled on to Praia de Tofo. A beautiful beach, but very touristy.

Then we took the long slog to Xai-Xai. We were intoxicated by the good road surface, road marking and shoulder, but as always, this disappeared about 80km north of Xai-Xai. We leaned on intelligence obtained from Jean, and turned off about 20km before Xai-Xai to sleep at Paradise View Chalets. The chalets are in the dunes next to the ocean in a beautiful setting. This is the first time that we actually saw decent sized dunes on our trip. The stayed in a little log cabin, and concocted a pasta dish from all our left over food. We had the last of our wine, albeit white wine.
