Another architectural walking tour : colonial Maputo

Last Thursday morning, my husband took a day off from work so we booked a new walking tour with  Maputo a pe  ! This time the theme was : Colonial Maputo . The morning was bright and with a gentle breeze from the ocean and we had a great guide, who was really well informed about all the buildings we looked at : such a pleasure to listen and to ask more questions!!! There are a lot of pictures, because we had two cameras with us and not all the photos are strictly colonial themed …. !!!! Wanna have a look? let's start, then!!! xxxx Alessandra

Architectural walking tour : Art Deco in Maputo

Last week ( it was Wednesday morning), a friend of mine and I joined a walking tour (  Maputo a pe  with Jane Flood) : the subject of the day was Art Deco in Maputo. You can read a lot about this architectural style ( start  here  and if interested just google a bit more!) and our tour guide was so well informed, that was a pleasure to follow her! I was amazed by the amount of buildings to look at ( such a pity that a big lot are in critical conditions), but because of the nice chatting with Jane, I just took few pictures ( who, me??? Unbelievable!!!!) !!! I've seen more than that, and I'll go back on my footsteps (I hope soon!) to report properly about this amazing architectural period!!! xxxx Happy Weekend, Alessandra
