Mozambique, South Africa and babies

October was a trip to Mozambique and South Africa.  With family and baby in Maputo, so eating out was ex-pat, little bit cheaper than Dublin, nothing special, other than the company and some views


Local food is very dimple, maize and greens, apart from the bread pau (pauzinho is little rolls),  Prego Nao Pau is a minute steak sandwich, usually with a very hot piri-piri sauce on the side and I do like the beer, 2M and especially Lagunita Preta

She is bringing up the baby trying baby-led weaning, surprisingly (I though) going very well, different from her sister who is doing old school spoon feeding.  I cannot really talk as a young and terrible parent, anyone and any method is better than I did with Jack.

Made a fair bit of food for the baby and family, keeping salt and spice down and tring to make things Aoife could try herself when we left.

We all went into South Africa, a night in an AirBnB, with a couscous salad , cheese, fruit etc, the AirBnB hadd a great herb garden, so couscous was v good.

We then spent a few days in Johannesburg, bit dodgy, but around Fox St it's safe and very secured, food very cheap, beer and wine excellent.  We had a decent Mexican, an OK Italian, soom good food at Neighbourgoods Market  Che was fantastic,:



 They went back home to Maputo then and we few to Capetown - next post
