DESTINATION AFRICA PART 4



A few hours after Castelinho38 High Commission decided to book the Tazara
train, which would have taken us from Dar Es Salaam to Lusaka (capital of
Zambia)in just 46hs journey, we have seen in the news that Zambia had just
declared an emergency state due to the latest flooding and heavy rains.



We therefore went for plan B, but before that, we went up to Kwendwa, north of
Zanzibar. Here there are many resorts and on the beach there are mainly
MUZUNGOS ( white men - in swhaili language), but the sae colour and the beach
are just unbeliveble and we have taken some pictures to prove it.



The plan B was to flight from Zanzibar to Johannesburg in South Africa and
from there continue toward Mozambique. After a long journey we ve arrived in
South Africa and a series of good coincidences we ended up in South West
Township, better known worldwide as SOWETO.



Castelinho38 has found in LEBO's Backpackers (www.sowetobackpackers.com)a home
and many friends.The people here is simply superb, very gentle and kind.
With Lebo we went for a bike tour around soweto, met the locals, had South
african beer and discover an incredible world which is part of African History.
We have officially invited our friends to come to Rio, hopefully they will be
able to come soon in order to strenght our african relationships.
