In Mocimboa
there Praia, there is not really much to see.
But,
at least, I could organize my bus ticket to Pemba. Busses in Mozambique
leave at absolutely crazy times - in the morning around 4am! These bad
bus times are all over Mozambique. All busses drive off between 3 and 5
o'clock in the morning. Even, if the place is only 2 hours away... And
once there, for sure, you cannot catch onward transport, as the bus to
the next city already left as well. And there is only one - or if there
are others, they leave all at the same time in the morning!

Taxis
are expensive - 20 US for 4 kilometers.... So, I had to find a way to
go from the campground to the bus station without paying a fortune. At
3.30am....
At
the end, I went together with the Askari (night watchman) by bicycle to
the bus.... At 3 o'clock we left (of course, after I had packed my tent
and backpack - very nicely at night!), the Askari had my big backpack
on his bike, I had the small one, and so we cycled on this sandy,
potholed track four kilometers to the bus station. Later, it turned
out, that there was no need to hurry that much. The bus did not leave
till 5.00am!
