Build on White Coral Rock
A Legendary
Town is Growing Back Again to Its Glory!
Following the Coral Routes, from Northern Tanzania South to
the Mozambique Islands, I arrived from the sea, by a wooden dhow boat, just
like once they did, but with my iPad…..
As soon as my feet touched ground again, I realized, how soft
and warm also this part of the coast is and the whitness of the sand so flashing. My toes were
already dancing… I headed towards thatched-roofs hidden in the small bushes and
I knew I found myself in a new paradise.
Once it was a master port for merchants coming from the Indies,
sailing from the East, coming from Arabia, flowing down along the African
coast. Meeting with the Africans and with the Portuguese… leaving behind sad
stories… lonely families… broken hearts.
But life is coming back to earth, sweet water is there,
coconut trees give good fruits,
birds splash their ways, legendary villas bloom
again.
I lay down comfortably amazed of the great atmosphere
and
happy to be able to relax in the many corners the villa offers
letting me
choose according from where the sunrays shine,
just like in olden days, these
houses were build knowing how to give pleasure
without the necessity of a roaring
AC.
Two spots: Two swinging chairs.
One for the morning, One for
the late afternoon…
.. but what for the evening ? ...
.... silence.... this moment is just for you !
