... itself isn't much (we struggled to find anywhere at all to eat in the evenings and I got my bum touched by a 10 year old boy) but we went for a hike up on Zomba Plateau yesterday which was really good. It's good job it's higher up (we started at 1300m) as there's no way I'd have even entertained walking very far on flat in Liwonde!
