A few years ago I wrote this letter, I just came upon yesterday while cleaning out old hard drives and couldn’t resist putting this in my curious karen album, as this is my life.

RAV4 3door – a girl’s best friend.

Please find attached my story to let you know how amazing this little car is and what it means to me in my life of travel.

It took quite a bit of convincing for me to finally trade in my BMW 318 E46 shape for a factory demo  RAV4 3dr with 64 000km on the clock. But after the sales man pried my fingers off my car keys and replaced them with a new pair I took a deep breath and entered the new world of off-roading and 4×4’s. Not that I was ever reluctant to try anything with wheels. I am an avid vehicle enthusiast and would like to one day have driven most vehicles including a few trucks and of course my ultimate, a Hummer H1.

Initially my reaction was one of slight disappointment with regards to the sparse interior compared to the BM. But that soon faded as I experienced the pleasure of added driving height, nippy size and a formidable bull bar plus much needed fuel efficiency and a very comfortable ride.

May 2007 was the month of our acquaintance. For the record let me quickly fill you in with regards to my lifestyle and driving requirements. I’m a trainer and probably average around 3 000km a month, sometimes 5 000km when I go on leave. So needless to say Durban South Toyota sees me quite often for my services.  I definitely commend them on their excellent service with reminder and follow up sms’s. Anyway, so our journey started. With a sound system that kick’s @ss and a very spacious interior compared to the small exterior perception we challenged the roads and off roads of Africa. While I started off tentatively climbing curbs and parking on pavements I started getting braver attempting some 4×4 territory and to my delight this little no wheel driver made it look as if it was born to be a 4×4. My first very exciting trip was when it snowed in Joburg on the 28th May 2007, I had just returned from a conference in Joburg, living in Amanzimtoti down the south coast, I had a training session in Kokstad and Matatiele and couldn’t wait to see the snow.

Neither did my car! Frosted windows, iced side mirrors it was beautiful.

Throughout the year the miles climbed with Joburg trips, up and down the coast trips and just plain travelling for fun trips. Two regional meetings at the end of the year with muddy weather and windy weather my Rav was there to entertain and work hard; carting equipment and people around.

My RAV also officially got it’s name, my number plate MOZAMBI ZN which is my dream in the making.

The adventures of Mozambi and I ranged between so many different locations and conditions. From beautiful cobbled stoned paved ways at work’s training centre near Mulder’s drift  to helping out with a friend’s wedding in Mafikeng. Bushveld driving with the girls at a V-club weekend always brings out the best in us.

Going to the beach with its canine best friend, Jessie to driving 1000s of km of potholed roads to Mozambique.

Bundu bashing up north of Maputo in the Morrungulo area to being on the road to Xai Xai city.

Stopping off anywhere for a snack and a cup of coffee early in the morning.

Helping out as a flower wagon at a best friend’s wedding. The duties never end.

Our Cape Town road trip took us through the Karoo and Beaufort West to a karoo lamb farm with the most hospitable hosts one could find in South Africa. A flat tyre and gravel road added to our adventure.

We arrived at the Transkei, Hole in the wall to do some more off roading. Getting stuck in the mud was not part of the plan but definitely worth the experience.

A trip up to Richmond in KZN which is a forestry area was beautiful and challenging in its self. Bad roads left by the trucks and rain and hidden pathways around every corner, kept the journey interesting.

Back up to Maputo in Feb 2009 had us attempting off road driving in the city streets, with dongas only 4×4 could master. But my RAV was a tough act to follow.

Back to Massinga and the rural way of life to camping on the beach at Sylvia’s Shoal , music filling the afternoon air as we start the fires.

Then the final part that earned my RAV the utmost respect. We were driving to identify property on roads that now longer existed and hadn’t seen a vehicle for many years and soft sandy roads through palm tree jungles. I felt like a rally driver as we skidded along the thick sand roads and up inclines and raised middle sections of the road. And then there were rivers and bridges. The rivers posed no threat and the bridges were amazing to cross. I didn’t manage to take a photo of my car half submerged in a river. Next time.

  So I felt the need to let Toyota know what a dream and pleasure this little car is and the excitement it has brought into my life. Putting it through its paces, it responded with no hassles whatsoever, in fact, it put some 4x4s to shame. It truly is a girl’s best friend.

  Thanx for creating this little vehicle. Karen

I have subsequently had to sell my life partner end of last year with a notable 360 000 km on the clock. That’s a Toyota for you!

Republic of Mozambique 🇲🇿 MASSINGA BEACH LODGE - INHAMBANE #nofilter#mozambique#inhambane#massinga#massingabeachlodge (em Inhambane, Mozambique) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrQAdY2hx-V/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14ewao1wcfpv8

Sand in the Cracks

Leaving the sandy tracks of Ponta d'Ouro, we head north, making our way bit by bit up the Mozambican coast. 

Matt expertly inflates our tires for the tarred road. 

The coast is the treasure of Mozambique: the country has some 3,000 km of land shared with the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, much of it constituting long stretches of empty white beaches. We hop and skip from campsite to campsite:

One night at Jay's Beach Lodge. 

We wake up early and drink coffee from our flask on the beach, where we watch fisherman at work against the sunrise. 

Two nights in Quissico, a lake province of Mozambique with vast lagoons separated from the sea by a thin strip of land. 

We camp at Lagoa Eco Lodge, a small eco-village run by solar power on the edge of the lake. 

We spend a lot of time reading and cuddling Lagoa, the village's resident puppy. It's quiet - we are the only visitors at every campsite we stay at.

On our drive to Quissico we get our first speeding ticket - and our first veiled bribe request. The fine, a police officer kindly informs Matthew, is MZN 2000 (almost 500 rand) for going 75 km/hr in a 60 km/hr zone. Never mind that the signs marking speed limits are haphazardly placed and generally absent, but that's another story. 

Normally you get a receipt showing the amount of the fine and the identity of the officer who gave it to you. However, the cop says, we'll get half off if we pay without getting our receipt (tempting us to save a not insubstantial amount of money, but with the knowledge that the MZN 1000 we do pay is absolutely not going to the Mozambican government and absolutely going into that cop's pocket). After a brief debate, we politely insist on a receipt - only to find out that the official fine is only MZN 1000 after all. He's just taking chances to collect cash without a paper trail. 

From Quissico we drive to Tofo. It's a beach and party town: a lot of young international backpackers and students flock to Tofo for surfing, scuba, and marine life. It is famous for its megafauna, being home to manta rays and whale sharks year-round, and scuba divers the world over come here for its colourful reefs and warm waters. The problem for us, though, is that most of Tofo's dive sites are deep - between 25 and 30 metres down, where many of the manta ray cleaning stations (where the rays come to be groomed of particles by hundreds of little fish) are located. As freshly-qualified open water divers we're only qualified to dive to 18 metres.

In for a penny, in for a pound!  We take a one-day course qualifying us to dive to 30 metres and complete three more dives in Tofo. That far down, pressure is greater - four times the pressure your body feels on the surface, to be exact. The air in your tank is denser, and accordingly every breath you take depletes your air supply four times faster than it would at the surface, leaving you less time to explore the bottom before you run out of air.  Less sunlight trickles down, and a greater spectrum of colour is absorbed by the water around you. Red, orange, and yellow are the first to go, leaving your surroundings various shades of blue, green, and violet. 

I'm not sure I can say that marine life gets exponentially more awesome the deeper you go, but by the end of our seventh dive we've had some some remarkable underwater experiences. We've snorkeled with two manta rays - giants as wide as long as we are tall, rising and diving with ripples of their wings in dappled rays of sub-surface light. We've swum through schools of fish 6 metres high, pointing our hands in front of us like spears to part the proverbial seas of them as we approach. We've hung below the surface and watched towers of bubbles from the deep as another group of divers moves below us, to the edge of the reef we've just risen from. Above us, their translucence illuminated against the sunlight at the surface of the water, are hundreds of gently suspended jellyfish. 

We also manage to squeeze in a viewing of the first game of the World Cup - Russia v. Saudi Arabia - at one of Tofo’s beach hotels.  

(realising how much he misses Russia)

After two days in Tofo, we realise we are amongst the oldest travellers there. We are roofcamping in the back driveway of a beach hostel filled with young American women who spend a lot of time putting on makeup in the bathroom mirrors and shouting things like "GIRL, you go live your life!" to each other across the dorm hallways. 

The revelation that we are old tempts us to stay one more night (it's Friday, party night in Tofo) to go bar-hopping and recapture our youth. But instead, like the ageing fogies we are, we retreat back into the beachy wilderness to spend three nights at Island Rock, an isolated campsite 50 kms south of Inhambane that sits on the coast at the end of a 45-minute drive through deep sand tracks. 

But WELL WORTH the view. 

It is quiet. We are the first guests the lodge has had in a week. We spend our days on the empty beach and our nights around the campfire, marveling at the carpet of stars above us. 

From Inhambane province we head north again. Average speed, contrary to Google Maps' estimations, hovers around 60 kms an hour and depends entirely on the number of goats/cows/dogs/chickens in the road, times the number of potholes, plus the number of times we stop to buy giant avocados. 

The offerings of roadside stands change to reflect local produce as you pass between regions. Between Ponta and Maputo it's all about decorative plants. From Maputo to Bilene there's mostly...chickens in cages, waiting to be killed . From Bilene to Zavala there are stacks upon stacks of oranges. Jangamo to Massinga features mountains of coconuts. Before and after Inhassoro there are piles of rocks (in combination with the abundant potholes, Inhassoro is a grim region). South of Inchope offers pineapples, stacked in neat pyramids along the road. From Inchope to Chimoio, it's bananas. 

Two long days of driving and pothole-dodging see us spending our last night in Mozambique in Inhassoro, a small fishing village opposite the island of Bazaruto. From here, we regretfully say goodbye to beach life as we drive inland. Next up: Zimbabwe!
