Ladies and gents,

part three of our SouthernAfrican honeymoon.

We had 8 magical days on the island of Benguerra.

www.azura-retreats.com

A beautiful resort but their prices are out of line with what you get. I thoroughly recommend Mozambique. We have been to the Maldives a few years ago but the beauty of the Indian Ocean in Moz beats the maldives, hands down!

Mozambique impressions:

Miles of completely deserted beaches...

Our humble abode

Bar and common area

Our wonderful host Pedro!

All good things come to an end and we had to go home...

A Helicoper was picking us up and lifting us back over to VNX (10 minutes)

First leg of the long way back...

VNX coming into sight, with a LAN flight just touching down...

We cleared immigration and proceeded to the waiting area - the whole airport is brand new!

Little bar with awful food - seemingly the rooftop bar of the old airport had the best crab in all of Mozambique!

VIP lounge

Our Federal Air flight to JNB was already waiting!

Off we go, leg two... Legroom shot. This Federal Air flight was going direct, without a stopover in Kruger

Into the high veld

Approaching JNB

We had a nice dinner of Burewors and a few tasty Windhoek lagers before boarding our South African Airlines flight from JNB to LHR - Y class. Thank God a very friendly Afrikaaner check in agent gave us the emergency exit seats! Pays off to speak a few phrases of Afrikaans. Baie Dankie!

Boarding - great legroom but insanely tight seats!

legroom shot

AVOD was broken... oh well

Little amity kit

Tasty South African lager

Fish for dinner, quite OK

Dozed off shortly after dinner and woke up as we crossed the Algerian coastline. Yeah!

Breakfast

Sunrise over Europe

Arrived in LHR, went to Costa for coffees and spotted our final ride arrive - the EI flight that would take us from LHR to SNN

And that is it! I hope you enjoyed my trip report! More to come soon!

Quoting gialloboy (Thread starter):
I thoroughly recommend Mozambique.

well yes, it is set to explode, and with the likes of Tanzania and Kenya becoming oversubscribed, it is only just starting to pick up. But things take ages in this neck of Africa, which is a shame. I am sure in time it will.

Well done for choosing a destination that is not the normal. The only risk is them pricing themselves out the market, and overcharging for a non-superior product.

SA looked not too shabby.

Thanks 'Giall!?' or gialloboy.

And a great conclusion! Thanks for the series.
SAA in Y looks ok, nothing special but not bad at all. Lucky you with the extra legroom seats!

Looking forward to reading more of your reports!

A truly great set of reports. I've enjoyed reading them from beginning to end. It seems you had a great time in Mozambique and the pictures are a absolutely stunning. The chopper ride adds a nice touch to the whole set of flights. So Happy New Year!

A nice final report - shame you felw back in Y on SA rather than C on EY!

Thats the problem with those seats - los of legroom, but even narrower than normal seats thanks to the ticker armests.
