We heard A LOT of negative information about Maputo before we arrived. We were in two minds as to whether to go and take a look around, but after hearing so many negative comments and only one slightly positive, we decided to stay close to port.
Maputo
This is the presidential candidate who won the Mozambique election in October 2014.
Apparently it was a wise decision according to the feedback from others.
I think the problem with big cities like this is that they're meant to be functional rather than tourist attractions (Glasgow is rather unashamedly like that, and I'd never recommend that anyone go to Jo'burg for a visit, although it was good to live in)
I'm glad you're staying safe, and you still had plenty to see.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting place. Still best to play it safe.
ReplyDeleteFollow your gut instinct! If it doesn't feel right....!
