Moz Malawi 2023 : Part 12 : Day 32 to 36 : Vilankulos : 16 to 20 July

Sunday 16 July 
From Gorongosa NP to Buffalo Camp north of Save the unavoidable and horrendous EN1 had to be faced! The most direct route on the EN1 is 268kms. The long detour via Sussundenga on the N260 is 418kms but all advice was that this route would be quicker.
Even so it took us 11 hours but it was good to arrive before dark and enjoy the evening by the campfire. Rina even got to stream the Wimbledon Final for us.
Monday 17th July
After a good cooked breakfast we were back on the dreaded EN1. After the Save Bridge the road condition improves and its an easy few hours drive into Vilankulos.
Vilas do Indico is a small resort 10kms out of town. It's a little piece of paradise.
Tuesday 18th
Time to chill. 
Wednesday 19th
We did a full day boat trip with Steve out to 2 mile reef for the best snorkelling you'll ever do.  More variety of fish species than you could ever identify. We stopped on Bazaruto Island to picnic,walk and swim. Neil made us Pina Coladas for sundowners.
It was Ali's last night so we ate in the restaurant. She nearly got away with not having an R and R! 
Thursday 20th
Rina went diving, Ali had a plane to catch and Team Prado went exploring in Vilankulos. Guess where Neil and I hung out again? 
Rina made delicious Keema for dinner. With rain forecast overnight, we packed most of our stuff up for an early start in the morning.
