  • Ponta Do Ouro Mozambique will always hold a special place in our hearts. It's a beautiful seaside playground and is known for its beach, its dolphins and for its offshore diving and deep-sea fishing.
    We also created lifelong friendships here that we'll cherish forever.
    Enjoy the video and let us know where you're watching from!

    Hey! I liked your videos about Mozambique. It seems that you had lots of fun. I'm in Chicago, Illinois, US but I'm Mozambican. What happens is that most times people who travel to African countries only show the bad, sad & dark side of the cities. God bless you and your beautiful family

    Yeah those are called "Blue Bottles" Got stung by them more times than I can mention. A curse along that entire coast from South Africa to Kenia. Yes vinegar is the best remedy, if not available but you have some mustard for your hot dogs you're doing on the grill, use the mustard. It also works.
    Love your videos, you're extremely brave and adventurous, so keep posting these fabulous videos.

I really enjoy your Africa playlist, it's amazing and it is very interesting for me watching these videos about Mozambique, once I'm Brazilian, so I speak portuguese as a native language too, and seeing the billboards, malls, advertising and all of the other things in Portuguese it's so nice, it feels like home! Keep up the good work!

    As mentioned before by another commentor. Those are locally known as blue bottles, and the puffy part is actually harmless compared to the tail part. That is what stings and the tail gets VERY LONG. If there are lots of them, then you're bound to see some sea snails feeding on them as they get washed out onto the beach.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders

      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  Před 3 lety +2

      Yes you absolutely need to have this. Even when we presented the long form birth certs, they studied them for about 10 mins (felt like forever) I guess there are a lot of trafficking problems so they want to make 100% sure they're your kids.

    I love your Africa journey. Are you trying new fruits at these countries? I like the batik clothing and the jewelry. I would be so tempted to buy things, which are so cheap. But you have small luggages. What a great opportunity for the girls to learn about poverty and how it impacts people's daily life. That was a beautiful beach and lodge. Looking forward to tomorrow's chapter. Watching from Maryland, US.

    • @GrowingUpWithoutBorders
      @GrowingUpWithoutBorders  Před 6 lety

      Thanks for your comment Anna! Although it's tempting to buy stuff as we go, we tend to keep it until the very end so we don't have to lug around heavy luggage. Even though we travel light, it still feels like we have too much after a while.
      The girls, and all of us actually, have a different viewpoint now that we've seen different countries in Africa... that's for sure.

    The jellyfish that stung Chloe is called a Portuguese Man of War. Its a serious thing. You may want to take benadryl and a spray bottle of vinegar and water the next time you go to the beach in that country. Some jellyfish are not that serious. So the one that bit your oldest daughter was probably not too bad. But Portuguese Man of War can put someone in the hospital. Another bad one to look out for is the Box Jellyfish. If you head out towards the Pacific Islands or Australia then you have to time your beach visit to make sure that you don't go to the beach when the jellyfish are out.
