Ilha de Moçambique — Genito, Siri-Siri and the Stars

Ilha de Moçambique — O Genito, o Siri-Siri e as Estrelas

📍 Ilha de Moçambique, Moçambique

We had that breakfast at Genito's house, how I miss this house. Even though we couldn't go to the terrace, because last year's cyclone took the furniture away.

We went to Coral Lodge and had a Coca-Cola.

We came by sail, breathing in the breeze and the quietness of the bay.

We went for a walk in the city, the weather was great, against all forecasts.

Unfortunately, Dona Sara was closed. We went to Escondidinho.

They didn't have siri-siri matapa. Later, maybe.

More swims in the sea, more strolls through the island's history-filled streets. Casa Esquina, a marvel, like the house where Camões lived.

The power went out. We watched the sunset from our balcony and, since there was no light, the sky was full of stars.

Dinner at Âncora de Ouro, it seemed to be the only place with a generator working. Finally, siri-siri matapa. Approved.

And we came to our balcony to count stars, because the power outage had left the island almost deserted.

I fell asleep listening to them talk and woke up alone on the balcony, neither cold nor hot, perfect. There was still no power and absolutely no problem at all.
