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 !

This is the day at the end of October when Joana and I met our first KING! Regulo Abdul is in the middle, king of Matibane. He was very modest. We asked how to get in touch with him if we wanted to ring, and he revealed he didn't have a phone, and we should drive to Matibane again if we wanted to talk to him.

On the left is Bernardo Mualeite, an extremely enthusiastic functionary of the Nampula provincial government in tourism. He is still dying to take us around Mecuburi National Park.

And behind all three you can see Jaime, trying to get into the picture.
