EPISODE 17 (Part 1) . Hunting, shooting, fishing – our holidays, be they on the Mozambique coast or along the Zambezi river were nothing if not exciting. In this episode (1 of 3) I talk about BEIRA!

Voice of Beira prostitute thanks to my cousin, Lindie Hensman, who grew up in Angola and understands the specific dialect of African Portuguese.
