The bay of waves and mangroves: Day 36 - 37

Inhambane Bay from Ponta da Barra.

Dancing in the evening sun.

We woke up to a long stroll on the beach and refreshing swim. We decided to pack up and continue exploring the nearby area, took the sandiest, least driven roads we could find, until we found ourselves just 10km away at Ponta da Barra. We ate lunch in a fishing boat hanging from the ceiling and looking out onto the beach at a place called Barra Lodge (which looked a fantastic place to stay, but was sadly out of our budget). Just a few kilometers further we found the perfect campsite right on the point where the Inhambane Bay meets the Indian Ocean at Areia Branca Chalets and Campsite. You have endless river and mangroves on the one side, and sand dunes and waves on the other.Tom was itching to go fishing (which happens every time we see a body of water big enough for fish to live in), and so we went for a sunset walk on the beach, right around the point and back to camp along side the mangroves on the banks of the Inhambane estuary. The boys cracked open some coconuts from the trees around our campsite with our panga and we all enjoyed the white nutty flesh.
