The luxury bus had a flight attendant

It did. There was a guy who came around serving: tea, coffee, water and juice. He took our orders for lunch, told us when to get off the bus when we arrived at the restaurant for lunch, told us when to get back on the bus, adjusted the temperature settings (cold air conditioning!), and took care of his passengers like a flight attendant. Joel laughed at me for calling him a flight attendant but what else would he be called? A stewardess? He was a male. And bus attendant just doesn't give the novelty of it. I should have taken a picture of him.

The ride was lovely. We had all of our leg room without having to make room for anyone else's baggage, chicken, child or anything else that is usually taking up one's space on a chapa. We arrived without any problems, reaching Maputo from Beira in 16 hours. It was air conditioned. Definitely the way to travel should we have to go to Maputo again. And we saw the country...once again beautiful and each part very unique in land, vegetation and architecture.
