This is transcontinental travelling made easy

The trip out of Mozambique could not have been easier nor more memorable.

It started with a call from the manager of the resort rounding up the reluctant souls who were departing. The speedboat motors started turning two giant 200bhp beasts. Our bags were taken aboard and we , with flip flops in hand waded through the azure, warm Indian Ocean shin deep through the silkly sand and were whisked to the mainland 30 mins away. A mini bus was waiting the other end after more paddling, and the drive to the airport took all of 10 mins which included several stops for the driver to say hello to assorted people en route

Hardly time for a coffee before boarding and a two hour flight to Jo'burg and with loads of flights to choose from you are on your way back to home. About eleven hrs to Heathrow, overnight flight and only two hour time difference.

Jo'burg is a fantastic airport these days having received massive investment for the soccer world cup which South Africa is hosting this summer.
So its a fine place to act as a hub to Southern Africa

So that's it folks. A wonderful set of ideas and experiences. It can be yours too

Off again next friday so look out
