Paid for our very
pricy 6 hours in Chipata and headed over Zambian border into Malawi without a
hitch. Kitty is finally starting to feel better and we’re glad to have her
back.
The drive through
Malawi to our campsite was very pretty and dotted with little villages teeming
with life and chickens and goats and kids and people riding bikes and ladies
selling tomatoes.
Malawian people are
friendly and their Kwatcha money is pretty. More and more we are seeing that
China and Japan are taking over Africa and it is quite frightening.
Arrived at our
campsite in record time (after covering so much ground the night before) and
were happy to see the other teams and our friends again. We are calling the
banks of Lake Malawi home for the next 2 days. It is beautiful here. There is a
full moon reflecting on the water and we can literally watch the sun rising
over the lake from our tent.
Kitty finally found
the elusive mattress puncture and patched it up once and for all. We might have
a mattress for the first time since day 2. Excitement.
Sat on the “beach”
for a sundowner and decided to treat ourselves to some yummy Chomba fish for
dinner, indigenous to the lake and a specialty. The fish is yum if you don’t
mind all the bones.
We are becoming more
accustomed to being on the trip, travelling the roads and experiencing the
countries we visit. We eat with our hands, we work on Africa Time, we use 1 ply
toilet paper, camp now sets up in less than 5 minutes and we don’t mind a cold
shower. 12 days has never flown by so fast. It really feels like a quick
slideshow or preview of what these countries have to offer. Too quick.
But we
will be back.
