At the start of October we had presented the Ilha Development Plan to our Steering Committee in Maputo, and that weekend headed off to Inhambane for a trip to Flamingo Bay. The bus ride was hell of course, vomiting weeping unaccompanied children, blaring Mozambican chart toppers on a short loop, 7 hour journey. But when we arrived, a cocktail was pressed in our hand and we were taken over the water to our chalet on stilts by golf cart.
