After a long time off, I'm finally back to uploading key photos of our Mozambican adventure.

The catchphrase for the adventure has unofficially become 'don't try and understand'. This helps with a lot of the day-to-day oddness that is so copious you de-sensitise and find yourself just letting it go.

One example is the staring. There have no doubt been a lot of odder-looking white folk passing through Nampula in the past, and yet we are stared at shamelessly. It is most notable when the people doing the staring are themselves utterly extraordinary, meaning a mutual disbelief face-off: a man inside a chest of drawers (he was carrying it, fully inside, mate had drawers. Took time out to stare at us); two men handcuffed together (walking unaccompanied, neither was a copper, not in a hurry); a man carrying a massive number of stools on his head, maybe 30? (turned head + stools to stare at us).
