I didn't expect to find South Africa

I had read on the magazine Mozabique the paridice Island. The sand was lovely and the air was crispy fresh. as i have imagined what would be a perfact time to visist Mozabique. YES , my big 30 years birthday got my passport raady , butterfly in my tummy . I thought about the delicious Mozabican food and of course the red sweet wine with coke known as Catemba. we boarded the bus in Johannesburg that is when the fun begun. we arrived in the morning. our family friend was patiently waiting for us. we where tired since there was drama in the bus , I had told my sister that we need to book an upmarket bus . but no she opted for the cheap one. we booked in to our hotel it was a bit shady but clean the . the linen was clean and the was a decent bath tub we refreshed and the tour began we went to the market and my stomach was already grumbling . The street food was extra ordinary yumy . we has soup and the paninin and the chilli sauce . we walked around learned about the rich african history of the king Ngugu nyani . the architect was so rich and amazing . The Samora Michele statue .I could not wait for the night life .. Yes we went to rest and we went for the afternoon nap. Yes we went to Club Coconut club . it was closed very disappointed we had to detour to hit another club . the wine was good and the best chicken i have ever tasted . we partied untill ealry hours of the morning then we had to go back to our hotel. i love the fact that it was very safe to walk at night. the first day was amazing Day 2 of out stay at Mozabique we waked up in the morning went hunting for breakfast we went to the Maputo Mall . had a lovely breakfast what stunned me was that people where drinking in the street . then we boarded a boat we bought drinks on we drank in the boat it was so amazing making our was to Catemba another town .
