In the We went to Barra, another tourist destination. You can meet many South Africans with their boats and jet skis and quad bikes cruising around. We took sandy road towards the coast:
There are lots of boats in the water with locals that do their everyday fishing in the sea. We saw fisherman offering to buy crayfish and some fish.
We went to see Flamingo Lodge which was seriously destroyed by huge fire last year. This is how the lodge looked like before:
And huge fire that destroyed all but two chalets:
This is how it looked when we were there: Swimming pool and restaurant:
Wooden boardwalk that we took to remaining chalets:
Nice tropical atmosphere and lots of trees and flowers:
After sand driving we stopped on the side of the road to get some more air in the tyres:
There was abandoned building on the side of the road which looks like it has been a restaurant and bar some time ago:
Must have been a beautiful fountain, now full of floating rubbish...
Inside of the building is deserted:
The truck:
Then we were on N1 Road again till Vilanculos which is another famous tourist place. There you won't have any hard time finding a place to stay. There is abundance of lodges, hotels, campings and backpackers:
Beautiful coastal drive near the coast:
Vilanculos town beach:
We went for a beer in a bar close to the water:
And then we took a road North towards Inhassoro. We saw many new apartment buildings and complexes being built North of Vilanculos. Then the good road was finished and we drove through bushes and sandy tracks. The road was very overgrown and not on the map:
Eventually we got onto the gravel road:
After Inhassoro we drove to Nhamabwe. There are two ways to get there: Beach road which you need to buy permit for. You can inquire in Johnsons Bar in Inhassoro. And other option is to take swamp road. We took the swamp which was not too bad, in few places we slid a bit:)
Arrived to Nhamabwe... This was our paradise for few days. There is a camping spot run by Alex and Christina, 300 Meticais per night. Just a minute walk from the beach at the very end of peninsula. This was our sunset for tonight:

Then we drove through Inhambane town. It is a sleepy historic town known for its rusting colonial architecture. It is also one of the oldest settlements on Mozambique's eastern coast. This is how it looks today:
