King of Maputo

Yesterday, exploring Mozambique's lively and entertaining capital city, Maputo, I and a German traveler named Philip found our way to the top of the city's highest building, to the 33rd of 33 floors. It wasn't a usual tourist site, and it involved inquiring down empty hallways and ascending any stairway so long as it went upwards, and the views were utterly worthwhile. We saw the relatively small city of majestic Portuguese architecture and decaying 1970s concrete and bustling marketplaces and an active ocean port and expansive parks in one continuous landscape. Later on, passing through the large buildings and sites that appeared ant-size from above, we enjoyed a unique added perspective on our surroundings.
