Takin' It Easy
This is a top pick! Friday night I had the house to myself when Kristoff went to pick up Stacia after her trip south. They returned home with their Peace Corps fiend, Brooke, at 2 a.m., well tipsy. I had gone to bed a bit before that, but got up to say hello. Luckily, ...
Tracking Down Other Permaculture Teachers
This is a top pick! ... to fetch some kwacha. This was pretty easy, as was finding breakfast and a phone. The phone shops are literally everywhere in Malawi. My breakfast was half a fresh coconut (shelled for me), a muffin, two donuts and some fried potatoes with chopped salad ...
Another crap Mozambique hotel
This is a top pick! ... by 9:30. Overall I have to say I'm extremely pleased I made this detour to Mozambique instead of heading straight for Malawi. The Portuguese influence, the Dhow rides, Ibo and Ilha de Mozambique have made this yet another mind-blowing experience. Again ...

Day 2 - Black ice scramble up Sapitwa
This is a top pick! ... 8,000 feet up above the valley floor and the plains I had climbed up from the previous day. It was also the highest point in Malawi. We could actually see all the way out to Lake Malawi that must have been over 100 miles away. There were a lot of ...
4 days wait for the daily train
This is a top pick! ... . I found out the daily train I wanted to take did not go for another 4 days and the 2 potential flights to Malawi didn't run anymore! I'd heard really negative thinks about Nampula from other travelers, but despite all this I did quite like Nampula, ...

The crazy Christian
This is a top pick! ... to see, but the locals handled the situation very well. As we got closer to Lilongwe we started to climb up to a plateau, Lilongwe is Malawi's capital but I have to say it's not a very appealing city at all. It's very spread out with no real centre and ...
Day 3 - A lecture for the porter and guide
This is a top pick! ... contained paneer! Chinese was Rolland's idea and he told us when we were there that this was his first ever Chinese meal. Fancy picking Malawi to try your first Chinese! A few more G+Ts and then back to Doogles to finish the night with yet more G+T. I ...
Baiting Jerry the Fish Eagle!
This is a top pick! After taking 3 weeks to read 30 pages of A Short History of Africa and decided history books weren't really my cup of tea. Started the mammoth autobiography of Nelson Mandela - A Long Walk to Freedom. Spent the morning reading this book. Much more ...
A Night in Karonga
This is a top pick! I slept three hours Sunday morning and woke to catch the bus out of Nkhata Bay. I didn't say goodbye to anyone except the staff at Kupenja. Please forgive me, y'all. I took a mini-bus first to Mzuzu, got some cash out of the ATM, and got on another ...
Polyfilla and Pedantic-antics

Heading North through Africa
This is a top pick! ... across to Malawi. Everything about Malawi screamed AFRICA!!!! Whereas places in South Africa could have been any first world country, Malawi was definately a 3rd world one. I could see mud huts with mis-matched straw roofs, i could feel the heat of ...

At the House of Nordin
This is a top pick! ... like tourists in Jamaica, they went back to the States, got married, and went for another round of Peace Corps duty together in Malawi. Their initial mission was to educate about HIV and AIDS, but it was the mid-1990's, and the Afrikans took it as any ...
A dose of Bilharzia
This is a top pick! Took advantage of Doogle's full monty breakfast again this morning before we all head off to Cape Maclear on Lake Malawi. This is one of the first times I've traveled with other people for long distances on public transport and it was great to have help ...
