Haunted Hacienda in the Tsetsera
This is posted in Ride Reports, rightly so, but is really just a snapshot of a particular day, an eventful day, in a ride of many days, when was it, three years back, nearly four years back, that we did in Zim and Moz. I'll post the we later.
For context, I'll give some time-sequential milestones:
-Nelspruit...we assembled there, five of us, all AdvBikers. No wussy support vehicle. No, not quite true... we trailed our bikes from Nelspruit to start our ride from Gary's place west of Chokwe in Moz.
-Maputo...Lourenço Marques to those from before 1975. Gungy but fascinating. Watch out for the White-Shirts in order to preserve the contents of your wallet. The Polícia da República da Moçambique. Turn left off the EN4 to go north on the EN1 towards Xai-Xai.
-Macia...pretty-ish, nice trees, nice cashews, turn left again here and go north-east towards Zimbabwe. Where we were headed the day after the day after.
-Maccaretane...upriver from Chokwe Town. A Rhodie Bush-war aircraft wreck still lies in the traffic circle before the Limpopo River. Tosh identified it as a Huey.
-Gary's banana farm where the trailers and tow vehicles are left with a case or two of cerveja for our return. Its about 10km further upriver from Maccaretane. In the past Gary has been ready to retreat up on to the roof of his house when the Limpopo floods.
