Driving Around Nampula

Well, I haven't posted in awhile. Seems like life suddenly speeded up. However, my mom sent me a link to a short video on YouTube of a guy driving around Nampula and I thought some of you would find it interesting. I think it was done within the last 5 years as not much has changed.

He starts off driving up a street that we drive on quite frequently, from Toby's school to our house. If you continue on that first street straight (he turns right) you'll soon turn left onto another street, then right onto our street.

He drives on the two main streets on Nampula in this video, where all the shops and nice buildings are. Not all of Nampula looks like this, not by a long shot, but it gives you an idea of what the shops look like and the college, and the biggest hotel. The minibuses you see driving around are the taxis that everyone uses. 15-20 people per taxi. And this is what the terrain looks like, a lot of scrubland, palm trees, and dirt!!

I apologize that the quality is absolutely awful. But for those of you who are interested, you will see some of the sights we see every day.
