More about Pomene.....

We're at Barra Lodge, Inhambane now, with GREAT internet signal so we will make sure to update you all regularly for the next while.
Even though we are here, there is so much more to tell of our time we spent at Pomene, so here's the stories.....

As I mentioned in the last blog post, the road down to Pomene takes about 2 hours, of major 4x4 skill. Max did great and we were happy to arrive to the friendly staff at Pomene Lodge. We spent 5 fantastic days there, then packed up to head south, only to discover we had mis-counted and we actually had another day booked! Back to our camping spot and then to the pool to relax before braving the sandy 2 hr trip back to the main road. It poured with rain that last night, which made the road the next morning extremely muddy and slippery which tested Max's abilities even more! It was great fun, but it did take a bit longer than the 2 hours driving in.

During our stay at Pomene, we decided to sign up for some activites. We went on a wonderful QuadBiking trip, Alex and I both managed to get a ScubaDive in, and the kids even went for a horse ride on the beach! There were so many highlights, but I'd have to say that the best one would be our early morning walks to the end of the sandbar, for a fresh swim before the rest of the resort woke up. It felt like were stranded alone in tropical paradise.

Pomene is definitely a place we'll come back to! I miss it already!
