Mozambique art scene
Great tour, the guide was super helpful, it started pouring as it was monsoon season, so the tour guide helped to book a tuktuk so we could still do the tour! The tuktuk was proper waterproof! The orthodox church was beautiful, Mozambique has some Great architecture at the villa algarve and polano Serena hotel. We went to an art museum and studio! Diverse colourful art! I wish I had space in my luggage to buy some painting, nonetheless I loved the FEMA market, bought lots of cool souvenirs at very reasonable prices. The tour was fun and the guide was very informative about the history of Mozambique. They even dropped me back off the hotel, because of the rain

City tour on foot with Ercilio
Exciting tour on foot with information about the eventful history and present of Ercilio, who introduced us to his city in a sympathetic way. Encounters with locals, on Saturday there were many weddings with people in a festive mood dancing and singing. Obrigada!
