Mozambique Cool Morning Trucking Africa

There are mornings when the truck takes off and they put one of the big side windows down and it is just too cool for comfort. So everyone gets inside their sleeping bags and grabs some extra sleep or reads. I’ve tried it. It works. You might wonder why the window is raised if the weather is so cold. I’m told that the truck had an odor of exhaust fumes when the windows are both closed. So it seems that the options are be cold or suck exhaust fumes. Sounds like death or taxes, in a way.

Truck Games Mozambique Africa

The group is playing a game in the truck. They did that sometimes. I’m not sure what the game was, I was reading a book. I’m sure it was interesting. Sometimes I join in.

Sundowners Tete Mozambique Africa

We made good time. That’s what the driver said. The tour leader told us that we really hadn’t been to a country unless we’d eaten and had a beer in the country. I’m not sure where she got all that and I kinda thought a museum or two might have been nice and perhaps a little more significant than a beer, but if I have to settle for a beer, I guess a beer it is. Sundowners turned out to be a surprisingly nice place in Tete, Mozambique.

Chicken and Chips Mozambique Africa

It’s a roadside stop in Mozambique. It’s something of a lunch stop for over-the-road truckers coming through the main road in Mozambique. What we have here are a lot of little stands that all serve chicken and french fries (chips, as the British call them). It was something of a well known stop and all the overlanders apparently stopped there. Yes, they had chicken. Yes, they had chips. No, it wasn’t very good. But the place had a lot of character and a regional-wide reputation as a place to stop in the Tete corridor.
