Whirlwind tour of Tete continued...

Le Petit Cafe - the best bakery & coffee shop in town.
Inside Le Petit Cafe.
A typical street in the centre of Tete.
Another street in downtown Tete.
One of many abandoned buildings.



A new building being erected - notice the "scaffolding"!
Abandoned administrative building.
Site of the new hotel (The Rezidor Park Inn).
My favourite of all the buildings... I wonder what
 it could have been? A school perhaps?
One of the flee, tick & mange infested packs of
stray dogs. I would happily put them all out of
 their misery myself, but apparently they're
the only thing that keeps the rat population
in check. Poor things!
An abandoned home in suburban Tete.


The flat where I might live.
Tete's fresh produce market beneath the famous bridge.



Fresh, organic, colourful fruit & veg. Yum!

Market stalls.
