On our way to Zimbabwe, there is a small stretch of Mozambique that we have to cross. It's hot and dry. We cross this part in 4 days. In Tete we cross the mighty Zambezi river and sleep in a very run down hotel for 60 US Dollars a night. Nevertheless the people of Mozambique are extraordinary friendly and helpful. The landscape is barren and water is scarce in this region, at least now during the dry season.
