Ponta Torres Weekend with the Grae's

Ironically a mere 1.5 hours by speedboat from Maputo you can arrive at paradise. It does require at least one other family to split (the ridiculously expensive) transport and lodging costs and you have to bring all your own supplies but it is there for the taking. And as one of our final weekend getaways we loved it. Maja and Asgar and their two boys are close friends of ours and Adi had a blast with 2 older kids to follow around. We kept our activities to a minimal with just beach soccer, sand castle building and playing in the pools and Dhow beach bar. We ate quite well and finished off the nice wine we brought out with us while soaking up some sun and sundowners. We had quite a bit of wind one day and the intense sun requires you to take mid-day shelter (ie a nap) before returning to the picture perfect sunset and plethora of activities if you brought your own equipment (snorkel, kit surfing, wind surfing, fishing, skiing) etc. It was Rea's first time in the pool and ocean and she loved it so we look forward to many more weekends poolside as the summer is arriving here and we have 5 weeks left to kill;-)
