We travelled over from Mzuzu to Mbeya in Tanzania with a pretty smooth border crossing avoiding all the dody money and back into swahili speaking country which was a bit better for me (Nick) as ocassionaly i had some idea of what they were talking about lol!! We got to the town of Mbeya and found a pretty alright spot to stay for a few days which was ridiculously cheap compared to Malawi and for that matter Mozambique! We stayed there for 2 nights so we could g...

We got on a ''5 hour'' which ended up being 8 hour trip to Lilongwe from Blantyre and rocked up at a pretty awsome hostel!!

We stayed in Chimoio for a night then had another 4am start for another bus to Tete, which is close to the Malawi border in the north, then another bus to the border and finally our last bus was in Mal...

We travelled from Tofo via an early morning minivan which was ridiculously packed like absolutley ridiculously packed lol!! this took us to inhambane then we had to get a sketchy motor boat across the bay to maxixe on the other side!! then we got horribly ripped off by a guy in the minivan to take us to vilanculos!! Anyways we got there and it was like Tofo, very very hot!! After a bit of an arguement with the tout we finally got him to take us to our backpackers...
