BAD BUSES - GOOD STORIES (continued, part 3) City Maqutu looks like an animated advertising organization World Vision (Christian humanitarian organization working to combat the causes of poverty and injustice, approx. TRANSFER).. Local residents stoked furnace coal, so the district is characteristic flavor. tarpaulin, as well as tin sheets, used as a shelter. Everywhere the dirt and the children in ragged clothes, who looks as if it did not change for several months. Here, clearly felt the desolation, like the country and in the actually forgot about this island.'s Hospital Children instantly stick to you like glue, and are always happy to show the neighborhood, but at the same time expect something in return. In his first day, I walked around the island in the company of a Dutch couple. The Dutchman is a teacher, and he could not resist not to ask children coming across to us as there will be 27 plus 5. A dozen kids just looked at him absently gaze, and only one attempted to find and correct answers. At first it seemed the most stupid of all. After a few minutes ago, he simply drew a foot strips on the sand. As many as 200 meter bands. Palace Island of Mozambique for me - it's not just first impressions, this is part of a comprehensive perspective, which is formed anew in each new journey. This perception can have more fun from happening. I think my opinion has improved because I stopped in Maqutu in the guest house where you could take a shower, pouring himself out of the bucket, and a couple of buckets of water were always at the ready in the closet. And anyway, every day I liked all of the island more and more. However, I was there long, just three days. On weekends, the mothers of families living in Maqutu, sit on the narrow streets of the city under a piece of blue tarpaulin, sing songs, have expressed different wishes of the children, give them sweets. Local constantly smiling and welcome you, and you start to appreciate this incredible way of life. That's what it means to live each day, one day after another. On the steps of the palace With regard to living conditions, I have no idea how they will break this vicious cycle and put an end to this way of life . In the end, the government will have to do something. Meanwhile, the fishing here is the only branch of economy. The benefits of tourism here no one is looking. no attempt is made to make the road here was not as severe. Although there are rumors that soon the island build a new airport, but most likely it will shorten the way from Nampula only for an hour. more surprising and the complete absence of tourists. Of course, every foreigner here are treated like a star. More recently, the Portuguese and Italians opened a new restaurants and cafes, but the local place do not go. Instead, they feed mostly on fish or chicken, rice and delicious bread I've ever tasted. they do not eat butter. Monument Vasco de Gama fifth hour of the morning was time for me to wake up. Every morning at this hour in one of the many mosques in this small island began the morning prayer. Upon its completion, began to sing cocks. Islam - the main religion on the island, but there is here, and churches and even a Hindu temple, despite the fact that the island lives only one Indian. It is at such moments you understand the main points of the island's history. Mozambique - a former Portuguese colony, Mozambique and the island has been the Chief Executive and a transit center of the colony in the spice trade with the Indian region of Goa. The island has two main attractions: Fort St. Sebastian and the palace the chapel of St. Paul. The side entrance to the fort palace has become one of the few buildings restored to its original form. In its premises are kept true works of art from furniture to paintings. Each room is consistent in color. There is a huge dining table for four cuisine. Chapel also looks beautiful. There is also the Maritime Museum, where you can see divers recently discovered remains of a wreck since the golden era of Portuguese. There are some interesting pieces of pure gold. The street on the island of Mozambique Fort is the oldest complete the strengthening of structures to the south of Sahara. The best look at him in the evening. To his right is the capacity to store water, which locals still enjoy every day. Instead of making myself a normal water supply, they always come here to fetch water. Fort has also recently been renovated, so that it can be quite safe to walk and climb on the wall, where you can observe how the local swim in the sea. The entrance to the fort and stands out against the backdrop of other buildings in its crown, carved from stone. The entrance to the fort, however, the main attraction is located on the left side fort. There is the Church of Nossa Senhora de Baluarte. The church was built in 1522 and is considered the oldest building built by Europeans in the southern hemisphere. The most opportune moment to take a picture of the church begins in the late evening when the sun pours golden light of its walls. Despite the total poverty on the island of Mozambique can get a good shot at every step. Sometimes have to restrain myself not to photograph everything, because the facial expressions of the locals have their own unique features, and for life on the island can only enchant one view lone passer-by, walking somewhere on the street with old houses. In a world not too many places with such an atmosphere, both on the island of Mozambique. Furthermore, it is useful to understand how much effort was spent to get here, and how many more challenges waiting ahead. The Church in the fort I calculated how much it cost me a further advance to the south. best thing I could go every day at four o'clock, in addition, tickets for domestic flights are not so expensive. In general, I flew to Beira, the second largest city Mozambique. There I was with a few transfers on the bus get to the city Vilankulo. Start material: Completion of material:
