Hidden Paradise

The trip down to Mozambique went by so fast and the week we spent there went by even faster. I would highly recommend that everyone should give this paradise a try. We decided to go down, to swim with the dolphins, as it is what my mother has always wanted to do, and can now tick off her bucket list. We stayed in a beautiful little cottage, on the top of a steep hill, over looking an aqua landscape. Well almost everyday of the week, we went out to 'sea' if these big fish would want to come and play. We experienced snorkeling with Dolphins twice, but on days we could not find any, we got to adventure the sea, snorkeling in the reefs, and with turtles. It was honestly a unforgettable experience and my main thanks goes to "The Dolphin Centre" ( www.thedolphincentre.com ) as this is who we got our amazing package deal through.

Here are a few photographs I took while we were down, however after about the first two days, I was to busy being an adventurer, as appose to a tourist and didn't take as many photographs as I would have liked.

Road Down to Mozambique

Wow I really do fail when it comes to keeping my blog updated. I kept telling myself I will do this weekend, well that's a funny joke. :) See what happened was, when my family moved houses we lost a line to a home phone, meaning we had to get a little portable modem for WiFi. Which means we have a limited amount of WiFi to use, unfortunately I am not use to having a limited and may have used up quite a bit of WiFi within a few months. Luckily we still have a whole lot of free WiFi to use, starting from 23H00 and ending at 05H00, so I try and stay awake till just after 23H00, but always end up falling asleep, because I have a sleeping schedule like a granny. However as you can see by this post I have decided to break the house rules and just post anyway :) .
Now that that's out of the way, on to this post. :)

Around June/July 2013 my family and I went to Mozambique on holiday, it was an amazing holiday, filled with many laughs and awesome times. We stopped at a beautiful bed in breakfast/botanical gardens/Nursery on the route to Mozambique. The drive down and Mozambique itself is so jaw dropping beautiful, and full off many photo opportunities.

Unfortunately two of the Photographs, uploaded onto this post in the wrong rotation, and I have no clue has to how to change that. Sorry about that, but I hope you like the Photographs :) will hopefully be a lot more up to date with this blogging business this year, 2014 :).

Unfortunately for the time being myself nor no one in my family can remember the name of the town or the bed and breakfast we stopped at, but as soon as we find it or remember I will edit this post with the details :)
