We went from Blantyre to the Zomba Plateau and stayed one night. We hiked the basically straight up "Potato Path" to get to the top from Zomba town. Unfortunately once we got there we realized it was mother's day and the cheap places to eat were closed. So after hiking around a little on the Plateau, we had to eat dinner at the really expensive ...

We left Blantyre to head North for the next major town Zomba about 70km north of Blantyre.We were told by the bus station that there was an express bus to Zomba, and the guidebook said it would take only an hour, so dutifully we arrived at the bus station at 7am and boarded the bus. After sitting there an hour while other passengers boarded we f...

Boa tarde! Huh, ce ne bi videl najinega prvega/zadnjega posta, sploh ne bi vedel, kdaj sva nazadnje videla racunalnik. Hvala vsem za komentarje in vzpodbude, pa za cestitke seveda. Ko sva se iz Malavija pisala zadnje sporocilo, sva mislila, da bova v Blantyre-u ostala 2 noci, a sva si naslednji dan premislila - ceprav je Blantyre se najlepse, al...

Hopefully, this slide show of my experiences with Civitas Malawi over the last few months will interest you enough to get involved in supporting their efforts to empower their young students to help bring about a new dawn of prosperity and democracy for Malawi. They are supported by the Center for Civic Education, Calabasas, California, USAID, a...

Na een uur vliegen in Nampula aangekomen. Ik verblijf in Pensao Marques. Ziet er allemaal niet uit vergeleken van waar ik kwam en nog duurder ook ?!??! Hier ontmoet ik Harold en Irina. Harold komt uit Duitseland en zit in Malawi om zijn studie Geneeskunde af teronden. Tis laat en we moeten nog alledrie eten. We eindigen ons zoektocht bij een Hot...

Mozambique has experienced over 30 years of war so much of the northern region has fallen on hard times or hasn't developed at all. I don't think we realized how bad the infrastructure would be, especially considering that we estimated that it would take us maybe 24 hours to drive. Little did we realize that we were only dreaming. The Lonely Pla...

Woke up to see the first of the suns rays hitting Chambe Peak. After sharing Weetabix and Milo with the Belgium's - new experiences for them all, we headed out. Nice views of the plains and surrounding mountains on the steep path down. I don't think I mentioned but this mountain is often called the island in the sky as the lower part is often c...

Well, there's a lot of catching up to do with us. You may have gathered that Malawi is not over populated with Internet cafe, not suprisingly. We are now south of the lake having crossed the border into Malawi, got the wrong bus (Ruth's fault!) corrected ourselves and eventually go to the ferry terminal in Nkhata Bay. We got the ferry all the wa...

We've been in Malawi a while now and have been really enjoying ourselves in this small, poor, landlocked African country. It is really a special place with very friendly people. I know I say that about every country I go to, but here they are unusually friendly. The fact that most speak english means that you can actually have conversations with...

Patience

After Blantyre I wanted to go to the Mount Mulanje region in the south.
I spent 2 hours at the bus terminal waiting for a bus that never came,
but I ended up with some great pictures (see the pictures below on the
left). So I walked to the minibus stop 15 minutes down the road and was
crammed in there while m...
