Ilha de Mozambique

Ilha de Mozambique
The Ilha is really very nice! A four-kilometer-long bridge connects the island with the mainland. Earlier Ilha de Mozambique was the capital of the island. The town was founded by the Portuguese and you can still see the influence of the colonial times in the architecture. The houses have different colors, mostly pastel tones; there is a gigantic fort and a museum. The best is to take your time wander through the old cobbled lanes.
My lodging, a homestay, was also great! Living with a local family, eat together with them and getting tips about country and people. Much better than a hotel!
