Making Our Way To Mozambique!!

Durban beach front
Today we found a place to stay in Durban and headed out for Sunday funday drinks and food.

Durban 
 We were about a four minute walk to the beach, so we walked along the boardwalk where there was lots of activities, restaurants and people watching.  Many different cultures here in Durban made us feel right at home, which we loved.  We bar hopped, buying $10 bottles of yummy rose and got to relax and talk with some of the locals, everyone is so friendly here.  For dinner we got the popular Durban dish called bunny chow.

Border Line at 6am
The next day we hopped on a long bus ride from Durban to Johannesburg, about 7 hours.  3 hour layover in Johannesburg, then 11 hours  to Maputo.  This included waiting for the border to open for 2 hours, then we stood in line for 1 hour.  When it finally opened it took another hour to cross the border.  For traveling for almost 24 hours we handled it pretty well.
Mozambique We Have Arrived!!!
We got to Maputo and headed out to explore the town and grab some drinks and try to understand Portuguese, although most people think I'm Brazilian and assume I speak it.  We stopped by a cute little arts and crafts market, then had dinner at a popular local spot called Zambezia.  I got prego which is a popular Portuguese
