Rory and Joana on Ilha

Joana and Rory are volunteers with a non-profit organisation called TechnoServe, based in Mozambique, working on promoting tourism for a bijou undiscovered island called Ilha de Mocambique. Our role is to develop a plan to attract the right kind of tourism and development which will protect the island's exceptional architecture, and create wealth for the local community... and eat lobster and sunbathe !

In the narrowest of streets is this door showing the influences of India. As it looks like an old door, and Luis Camoes was known to have visited Ilha, it is commonly known as Camoes' house. Who am I to know different? Maybe it was his house.

Peace!

Yes! that is the House of Camões.
I am an "expert" and I can confirm. ;-)

By the way, if mr.Blind Eye was still living there, I am pretty sure that he would be now improvising some "rithm and poetry" next door, by the "cinema". ;-)

thanks for sharing your adventures in "21st century mozambique"!

keep posting!
