The Lake
So we finally left Tanzania and headed to the lake via Mzuzu. The lake is stunning and it was often hard to think it was actually a lake rather than the ocean. Mayoke village was a beautiful spot next to the lake (although there wasn't really a beach) and was a great place to spend a few days.
The staff and owners of the place were really …
Sitting on the Dock of Nkhata Bay
Southward bound and curiously titillated1, based on hearing rave reviews about the scenery, swimming and socializing, we made our way quickly and rather painlessly to the backpacker haven of Nkhata Bay.
