Once Americans go "wild" to Africa
Wenn Amerikaner "wild" nach Afrika reisen
 
These eyes look at you once you visit the website of an organisation, based in the U.S.A., which reports with text & pictures about "wild" travels of young Americans to many exotic parts of the world - also to Africa.
One of their targets:
"Gabriel's Lodge, Benguerra Island, Portuguese Colony of Mozambique"
 

Diese Augen starren Dich an, wenn Du die Website einer amerikanischen Organisation besuchst, auf der in Text & Bildern von den "wilden" Reisen junger Amerikaner in viele Teile der exotischen Welt berichtet wird - u.a. auch nach Afrika. RBO fand einen Fotobericht vom Besuch in "Gabriel's Lodge, Insel Benguerra, Portugiesische Kolonie Mozambik".
     
  Quote from the Website:
"The island is dotted with local fishing villages. As Mozambique is a Portuguese colony, the sights and sounds are quite unique to Africa."

Zitat von der Website:
"Auf der Insel gibt es vereinzelte Fischerdörfer. Da Mozambik eine portugiesische Kolonie ist, sind Ansichten und Geräusche einzigartig in Afrika."

Hi,
"As Mozambique is a Portuguese colony, the sights and sounds are quite unique to Africa."
This is a quote from your presentation at:
http://www.swild.com/scenes/mozambique.htm
So, your team was thinking all the time they were in a Portuguese colony whilst travelling through Mocambique?
We hope, you guys in U.S.A. will get a better idea about people and their history, otherwise you may mix up Iran with Iraq next time when you travel "wild".
Greetings
