Trip to Morrumbene/Linga Linga
It can sound like a long long excursion but it is not. Well kind of actually. Morrubene is situated 50 km north of Inhambane. The point in getting to Morrumbene is to turn right to get to Ponta Linga Linga with about 20 km of sand roads, if you don’t get lost, wich has been our case, of course, but not too much, just okay.Vigh, a Malaysian guy, was the Couchsurfer for the week end and didn’t mind going on a trip to Linga Linga instead of staying in Inhambane, as it was the plan arranged with Dylan, before he leaves Mozambique. Vigh arrived on Friday noon, Dylan joined us later in a very little local baraca, the closest to Kulima around Tip Tinto. We ended the evenings after a round of 2 other baracas, just enough to not have a hangover the next morning. Early ready, we made our way to Maxixe to do some shopping and started the research of the Funky Monkey accommodation Dylan had heard about and I read about in the last edition of LP. Vigh did the trip at the back, African attitude. A Ponta is in the middle of thousands and thousands of coconut trees straight or not depending on the density, which makes it more beautiful. As we finally found the place, after nearly got stuck in the sand once, we found out that they either escaped a couple of month ago or a storm destroyed the place but anyway, nothing was in state to receive anyone. Then we had to go back to Morrumbene lodge on the other side of the little piece of earth advanced in the ocean behind Morrumbene. We paid more than a backpacker price but had a real house for us with the splendid beach 200m of our door. A paradise view again, such a natural beach, white sand, no construction around but the lodge, hidden behind some coconuts, strictly nobody else. Just a simple pleasure of exclusivity. As proper tourist, Vigh and I had to go to the water as soon as we arrived while Dylan prepared the grill for the meat he stocks in Dongane directly imported from South Africa. He must have cooked for 8 persons, so that we had the same the next day for breakfast. A short but wonderful excursion for the week end, I will definitely remember the beach in Linga Linga as one of the most clean and calm I know.
