This past Sunday we decided it was high time to get out of Maputo, not in the permanent sense but at least for a little weekend jaunt.
We boarded the Zavora, the boat of our acquaintance Sérgio, and navigated for an hour through the Bay of Maputo. 
The water was beautiful, the sun was strong - a little too strong, maybe, seeing as Rico and Jenny took to singing the theme from Indiana Jones at one point during the boat ride.
Our first stop was Portuguese Island, a deserted island that is a nature reserve and a little slice of heaven just outside Maputo. I spent the entire afternoon collecting shells, floating in the super salty water, and catching up with Jenny, Lies and her boyfriend (also named Ricardo, also a Brasilian).
We ended the day with a super seafood lunch on Inhaca, a large island next to Portuguese Island that covers the mouth of the Bay of Maputo. After red snapper and a couple of beers, we were ready for more sun and a good nap on the boat on the way back (at least that was the plan for me and Jenny).
All around a fabulous excursion. So much so that we are contemplating another trip this weekend, only this time to go camping overnight!

As if living vicariously through you in Maputo is not enough--what a lovely island getaway! Thanks for sharing, the water is so blue and soothing.
Sounds like a great trip to do a rerun of. The photos look great! I miss the warm weather so much..sigh! :P
That blue is simply amazing :)
Looks and sounds like fun. And supposedly Rico left the glittery sunscreen at home this time? :)
This looks like fun!
I am just dazzled by all that blue.
It was a great day, beautiful water and good friends. And yes, Paris Parfait, the shimmer suncream was purposefully left at home. :)
OK
un amical bonjour de France
