We were alerted at the port talk to be very careful in this capital city of more than a million people. Just on year ago the city was full of rioters but now seemed calm and hospitable. We found the residents friendly and helpful as we walked to the Maputo Central Railway Station, said to be the most beautiful in Africa. It was impressive. We saw local men playing macula on the street. With the heat at 96 degrees Fahrenheit we decided to take the free shuttle to the Craft and Artisans market. This gave us a glimpse of the city which seemed modern and well kept. We browsed the market and decided enough heat and returned to the ship. As we walked the dock back toward the ship we saw the INS Sumedha an Indian Navy ship. It is deployed as part of the Indian Navy’s mission of building Bridges of Friendship as well as to address maritime concerns across the globe. The current visit seeks to accentuate India’s solidarity with friendly countries.
