Maputo is a small and dirty city, there is not much to see here. I have never seen such a big country with such a small capital.
So to spend 1 or 2 days walking around the city is all you need in my opinion It is important to buy all the necessary stuff you will need before you go to your project because once in your project you may not find many things. (This I didn't do and I shoulded had)
All over Mozambique you can find abandoned buildings as a result of the political wars that have occurred in the country.
AND as an ulgy highlight, in my way to the city corrupt cops saw a car full of "TOURISTS" so they stoped the car for no go reason and asked for the drivers documents. Since the documents where in place, they asked for our passports. Because many of us did not take our passports for security reasons, the cops asked us for money for "REFRESHMENTS" so they would let us go. Could we have argued that what they did was not right? Could we have looked for other solutions? Yes, perhaps BUT it was better to pay and not get in trouble with the bad law in a foreing country on our 2nd day there!!!! (so have your passports with you if you come - future DIs)
ADPP MAPUTO
When all volunteers arrive to Moz, they stay in ADPP Maputo, another teacher training school.
The volunteer house here is located outside the campus and has 3 houses. If there are too many volunteers, the extras sleep on this tent. I spent my first night there.
