We raakten aan de praat met Diederik en het bleek dat onze levens elkaar jaren gekruist hadden. Zo woonde hij naast het pand waar een goede vriend van ons woonde in Amsterdam, om de hoek van ons eigen huis, en waar we vrijwel ieder weekend doorbrachten toen we in Amsterdam woonden. We gingen naar dezelfde plekken, restaurants en bars. Diederik bleek van dezelfde leeftijd als Gerry en met een zelfde liefde voor muziek. We deelden interesses en opvattingen. Een bijzondere ontmoeting hier in Mozambique.
