Rio Savane Beach

 Rio Savane was a very beautiful beach.  We drove for 1 1/2 hours north-east.  It wasn't that far, the road are just pretty hard to drive on.  Saturday Nov 2, when we arrived the tide was out and so we had to walk across the bay to get to the island beach.  Usually the boat would be there to take us across.

 It was a pretty long walk.  Lots of shells to step on and mud pockets to stick to your feet.  We finally had to take off our shoes and hope not to step on shells and get cuts.  We did ride in a little boat across the final 100 feet of channel.

 Finally made it.  This is the entrance to the park.

 It was a wonderful surprise.  We did not have to wade through garbage to get down to the ocean.  Our beach front is pretty bad.  It was a beautiful day.  A little overcast and hot but not too bad.

 Where are we?  Standing in the Indian Ocean in Mozambique Africa!

 We had such an enjoyable day!  The beach was so lovely and there were only a few other people there.

This is the same place that we walked across to get to the island.  When we left the tide was back in so we got to ride the boat back across.  The parking garage is in the right side of the picture.  We were with the Snelsons and the Bueno family, Joao, Kelly and their 3 teenage boys.  They are from SLC, and have been here for about 9 months.  Irmao Bueno works for Care For Life, a humanitarian non-profit here in Mozambique.  He is a counselor with Pres.
