One
of the highlights in the northern part of the country is Ilha de
Mozambique. The bus going there was anything but a highlight. When
boarding the bus, I was astonished that there were so many water
canisters on board. Well, we needed all of them. The tube towards the
water cooler had a hole and a man was constantly filling water - which
came out as fast below as he did put it in on top. We carried about 150
liters - this lasted for 20-25 kilometers. Depending on the gradient -
and there were many hills! After 20 or 25 km, we had to stop at a well
or a river to fill up the canisters. We were not the fastest bus, that's
for sure!

For
400 kilometers we needed
14 hours. However, I was only so quick, because I ran out of patience
and changed the bus somewhere midway. I have no idea, how long the
others were on the road.
