Finaly in Maputo

I have arrived in Maputo after 19 hours on the plane. I couldn’t sleep at all on the plane so I’m a bit tired now. Johanna and Jimmy drove me to the airport in Stockholm and kept me company for a while. On the plane to Amsterdam I met a friend from the student union at KTH. The flight to Nairobi was a pain since I hardly could sleep at all, but I did manage to catch some sleep on the last flight from Nairobi to Maputo.

Immigrations went smooth, but when I went to pick up my luggage I waited and waited but it never came. I had to file a claim for the luggage, and most likely it got taken off the plane when we stopped in Harare. The next flight from Harare to Maputo with Kenyan Airways is Thursday, and given that today is Sunday this can become a tedious waiting. I hade some
clothes in my carry on luggage so I can handle a few days at least.

Once I got out of customs I found Tonela who were there to meet me and he took me to my apartment.

The apartment I have here is really great. It is larger than my Swedish apartment and is very clean. I seem to have most necessary facilities, including a washing machine in the apartment, so I don’t think my accommodation will be any major concern.

Tomorrow I will meet with the Minister of Science and Technology and some of the staff from the ministry to discuss my work here in Mozambique.
