Travel journalism
Joshua Kurlantzick, for The New York Times, produced a thoughtful and fair report
on Mozambique as a travel destination in May 2005. But you
will have to register with the website, which is free, and also
navigate yourself past their irritating adverts. You'll see a
reference in the piece to the author getting attacked by Mozzies when
staying on Barra. He was staying at Barra Lodge and, as we
explain elsewhere on the site, Kaya MJ is situated well away from the
mangrove swamp which produces most of the bug problems you might
encounter at Barra.
Because our holiday home is situation up on a sand dune we find that our mosquito problem is relatively small.
After reading the New York Times piece, do click on the
multi media slide show for some good pictures of the place by Jehad Nga.
There's a nice straightforward piece on Inhambane and Barra by Robin Daily, published in Getaway magazine back in December, 2003.
Or you can read Paul\'s slightly cringe making piece
in The Guardian from February 2004, when he worked at the paper.
This was a report for the Guardian's travel section after we had
spent a month traveling around Mozambique as a family.
