Vilanculos

Vilanculos is another Mozambican beach town, although a bit bigger and busier than Tofo it's just as beautiful. I stayed in a laid back hostel with little roundhavels and a really nice outdoor communal area right by the beach. So obviously I spent even more of my time in Mozambique just chilling out and enjoying the vibes!
I went on a boat trip that took us to a couple of beautiful islands that mostly consisted of white sand banks and crystal clear water. After climbing some sand dunes, chilling in the water, and having a great beach barbeque, we went snorkeling on the 2 mile reef, a marine National Park with really interesting sea flora. I saw a load of really large and colourful fish, plus some reef sharks. I didn't get to see any dugongs unfortunately!
As I was loving the Mozambican food I decided to take another cooking class. We went to the market to get the ingredients, which is always interesting! Then we went back to the restaurant and cooked coconut and peanut fish curry, crab shells stuffed with crab meat and vegetables, matapa (made from cassava leaves) and another dish made from another type of leaf, pap (a staple in Africa made from maize flour), another fish dish, and a sweet dish made from cassava root and coconut milk. It was all excellent!Read more
