SIghts on route are varied - inland lakes, rural villages, cashew nut plantations and brilliant blue sea. For centuries Arab and Persian traders exchanged cloth, salt and beads for slaves, ivory and gold in Inhambane Bay. A stop at Inhambane's colourful market before continuing to the long, white beaches on the peninsula of Ponta Da Barra. We stay here three nights, surrounded by coconut palms.
