We wake to the sound of a carillon bells echoing across the lake. We cannot see a church, but we can hear its bells. The sun is just coming up over the hill behind us and the weather app confirms is will be hot today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a coffee and plan our day, which as usual isn\u2019t much of a plan. Our guide refers to a series of isolated stone villages in the eastern Beira. I marked them out some months ago after ready an article in the Weekend Australian. After looking at our road atlas we decide to let the GPS decide the route and we get the Hymer ready to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
