Ifaty.

The view from our latest resort hotel, this time on the beach at Ifaty on the Mozambique Channel. Been bird watching in the nearby spiny forest and found two species endemic to this area only and endangered.
Our hotel here is very nice again, is a cabin right on the beach almost. It is 3 star but very comfortable. I don't think we would survive living as the locals. Very primitive conditions and dirty. Money is flying out the window, tips the main culprit. Everyone wants the tourist dollar but I don't blame them. Such harsh living here. The people you see in the photo are women trying to make money by selling things on the beach. As we are the only tourists here practically, we are getting totally hounded. We have already bought 6 sarongs and getting massages this afternoon. Oh well. It's all cheap as and it puts food in their mouths.
It's a lazy day swimming and reading today before our big drive tomorrow to Isaola.
Bye for now.
