Museum, Ilha da Inhaca

 mvtouring Says:  Not too far from the hotel complex you will find this little ocean museum. It was closed when we got there but provided a nice resting place after the brisk walk. 

Local dining

 mvtouring Says:  Once again just outside the hotel complex, you will find this little "rural" diner. Do not be put of by its appearance as the food is excellent and very fresh. 

Local performance

Pub

Pub, Ilha da Inhaca

 mvtouring Says:  You have to visit the pub just outside the hotel complex. The owner does not posess a tot measure, so drinks are poured by judging and needless to say the later the bigger the judgment! He also gave us some clams as starters on the house, which was to die for! 

Airstrip
