Message of Zandia to her son our grandson:
“Today we celebrate the birthday of a true king in the making. You are only two years old today, but everyone in your presence can already notice the calling upon your life. You have so much authority with every step you take, but there is a gentleness surrounding you with a LOVE for people that amazes me.
You are our little "barrier braker"..
We love you so much Zandre, Happy Birthday”

Arriving at our beach house at Aqua Ceu in Mozambique. The first time we can utilize our beach house after 8 years of battling and overcoming local politics and various challenges.
The dirt road from the village to the beach takes you past a fresh water lake over 20 km long. The dirt road to Aqua Ceu is a 4x4 road of about 15 km from Chidenguele winding between the lake and the sea through the forest until you reach the beach.

Vacation at Aqua Ceu in Mozambique
We thank the Els family (Zack’s youngest sister Louise, her husband Gé and their two children Shechinah and Vrede) to share with us our first holiday at Aqua Ceu in Mozambique
Shechinah and Vrede spend a lot of time on the beach exploring, swimming or fishing. Zack also managed to catch his first bonefish in Mozambique
At low tide we drove the 14 km along the beach to King Pools
Relaxing on the beach
