Is this the water crossing you are referring to? amzimmy (MozRuss (877 x 620).jpg) Attachments ---------------- MozRuss (877 x 620).jpg (176KB - 1 downloads) | |

Posts: 850 | Re: G at Golden Gate Boy G - 4/18/2007 9:25 PM Amzimmy touche! Thats the one. Off to the east is Miele Bangalala. I grew up on a farm just over the border in Swaziland and we went to Bangalala for holiday. Here you could see elephant on the beach from the Tembe. Where did you find that map though - obviously not Genesis it looks Russian!! (In fact I thought you were talking about the Malagas pont) Cheers They are from the "Russinski" maps, the only maps that are worth of information and they work well with OziExplorer. amzimmy | |

Posts: 850 | Re: G at Golden Gate Boy G - 4/20/2007 10:23 AM Amzimmy, This thread started because Adoni and Maxwell on another thread were talking about paying $50 to enter London or how expensive the tolls are to cross a bridge, and the cost of parking etc etc. How many "tolls" have you had to pay in Africa to pass by the policemen?? I would also be interested to see how many brethren have photos like your one above - ie really remote places. Where are they (and no Wales does surely not count!) Well, I think I lost count of all the "bribing" and "special-police-toll-fee" that I have paid. One trip still sticks in my mind, it was in Mozambique, traveling from Mutari-Baira-Maputo. I think we went through over 75 police and military roadblocks. We had to give our sunglasses, t-shirts, caps, cigarettes, food and of course Money not Meticais but Rands or $ (1 rand = 5000 Meticais at that time = 0.7 US$). At a one particular roadblock, they stopped us (with AK47) and a big fat guy said we did travel to fast through a built-up area. I asked what built-up area? There where no houses far or near. he pointed to a little shack between the bushes. I defended the matter by saying that this was ridiculous and above that how can he proof that I was going too fast? In an angry voice, he told me that he could tell from the dust cloud behind the vehicle that I was doing far more than 30km/hr (19 miles/hr). I really got my "nickers in a not" and refused to accept such an insult! Unfortunately for us, he had the advantage on the AK47 and threatened us with an arrest, after paying him R 300.00 and he liked my jeans belt as well (even if it was way too small for him!), so I lost that one too. After all that he let us go! amzimmy | |

Posts: 850 | Re: G at Golden Gate I HAVE to mention for all of you guys that are intending coming to South Africa, that what I have encountered in Mozambique is related to that area (Country) only . In South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Swaziland and Lesotho this things do NOT happen and the traveling is SAFE all round. There where many times that I traveled in Mozambique and nothing like that has happened. However, one has to be on the look-out all the time when traveling in Mozambique! amzimmy | |
