... wouldn't get bilharzia from the water. This is a parasite disease that attacks the liver but is treatable so we risked it since the water was wavy and the parasite is found in stagnant water. Its easily treatable so we're not worried. That night we had a quiz in the bar with everyone on our truck.<br><br>On Saturday we did pretty much the same thing. Lay on the beach, went for a swim and in the afternoon a few of us rented a peddle boat and went out to the ...

... at Vypha Lodge near the town of Chitimba (Vypha was the name of the old ferry on Lake Malawi that sank close to this campsite). Here is where we met an overlanding character by the name of Phil. Stayed up late chatting with Jess, Sam, Kodai, Chris and Phil although Phil was drunk and high so the conversation kept repeating itself.<br><br>On the lake the local villagers were fishing in the night using hurricane style lamps, giving an interesting scene.<br><br>Dist.

Saying bye to loads of friends - relalising how many friends we have made in such a short time is so nice, but then really sad to say goodbye to everybody!

... the community involvement every step of the way. After that we went to tour the village we were supposed to stay in before Marg was sick. Great place and the concept is fantastic, hope that a lot of people go and stay there. We have just been told that we are being pickup tomorrow morning around 8 to go to the next village to start work, I think the kids do not realise how hard it is going to be.

We had an interesting bus journey back from nkhata bay.... Our bus journeys always seem to be interesting! <br><br>We got up at ridicules'o'clock to catch the first bus to Lilongwe. It took 8 hours and for the majority of the journey they were playing christmas hymns (like o come e be faithful) raggae style. Also for the good part of the journey I was sat next to a chicken. <br>Only in Africa does it get that random.<br><br>We ...

It's been quite an exciting fortnight since I last wrote to you. We had our last lessons in most of the schools we taught in (because of reasons beyond our control we have one more last lesson tomorrow), some goodbyes were sadder than others but for the most part the classes were very good! We celebrated by going to an Italian restaurant called "Al Fresco" for lunch and we all had pizza! It was so exciting, our first meal out together in a wonderful restaurant with great food! We ...

... Guesthouse in a dorm room, where I met Jenny, a nice English girl who <br> gave me some tips on what to see and where to stay. The second day she <br> came back from the bus terminal in Old Town where she had been robbed <br> of her daypack. She had been walking there all alone before sunrise at <br> about 4am... that made it pretty clear to me that I should not take a <br> bus before sunrise, but I wasn't planning on that anyway.
