Last days in Mozambique

Pedicure our last day in Mozambique. After two months your feet look African (dirty and dry)...
Bananas, anyone?
Safari
Did I tell yoh that we saw the big five?! Well, we did after just 4 hours in the park. We had our own car and guide for a whole day and saw so many animals!

Two out of the nine lions we saw!
You can barely see it in the picture but in the tree right at the split there is a leopard
A white rhino with a funny bird at its feet
Back in Sweden
Wednesday afternoon we left Mozambique and arrived in Sweden yesterday. Today, after our fourth flight, six airport, and three days of flying we finally arrived to Falun and home to our parents. I've probably never been this happy to come home for christmas as I am this year. I have had a crazy and amazing past 2 months living in Africa, and not to forget a crazy year. I feel like I've grown 10 inches and all of a sudden gotten 2 years older during this year. It's been a pretty amazing year though and I'm very lucky and proud to have gotten the scholarship and the opportunity to live in a developing country for two months. But above all, I love my life, my family and friends.
Last Monday we went on safari to Kruger National Park, which was totally amazing and incredible. I have som many pictures to show you and so much to tell. The last week in Mozambique was great and we spend the last days in Maputo, the capital. It was really nice to see something new and get ready to go home to winter. Now I'm going to celebrate Christmas with my family and probably have the best Christmas ever. However, we have so much work to do on our thesis and have to do a lot of studying in between all food and spending time with family and friends.
I miss you guys a lot and hope to be able to travel to Boston next year!! Oh yes, and I hope to get a job there but that's not gonna happen.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Greetings from Africa!
Africa is still great, hot and poor. But we are still alive and are now close to the end of our journey. It's said but at the same time it's gonna be great to go back home to my family and celebrate Christmas, eat tons of food and enjoy Sweden ('cause it wure is one of the best countries in the world). Today we have been hanging out by the pool at a hotel here in Inhambane. Must say that it sure is great to be a student sometimes =)

I hope that you are all doing great! In a week we are in Maputo, and in two weeks we are at home with our family!!
Love,
