Last stop in malawi was to the capital, Lilongwe. There were lots of overland trucks at the campsite we were staying at, and we arrived just in time to catch the AB´s playing South Africa, and happy to see the AB´s win. Other than watching the rugby didn´t really do much other than a few too many drinks at the bar (especially for mark!).

After our nice stay at lake malawi it was a short drive to stay at a forest lodge in Luwawa forest. Really nice lodge with a few activities to do. Mark and I went for a little paddle on the nearby pond, which wasn´t so nice as it was pretty much an old s***/waste pond. We then tried a bit of archery with some coaching from Alex, who was a bit of a pro at it. The rest of the afternoon was spent having a few beers, playing cards (up & down the river), and ti...

Next stop was back to lake malawi at a different beach for 3 days of R&R. On the drive there where stopped at a local wood craft market, where many malawi chairs were brought (not us though, we opted for a couple of smaller things to post instead).

Mark also went for a lake dive around a wreckage one of the days, which he really enjoyed. And I went ...

Interesting drive there, the road into the National Park wasn´t really built for safari trucks so lots of yelling out "branches" then ducking so you didn´t get hit through the windows. There was a french family at the camp spot when we pulled up and they didn´t look to happy that they no longer had a ...

Next day it was across the boarder to Malawi, which is the 3rd poorest country in africa. It is illegal to change money on the boarder, so Tash arranged for this man to come onto the truck before we crossed the boarder to change our money. Felt a bit like out of a movie with this guy dressed up in a suit carring s*** loads on money in his jacket. First stop was on the lakes edge at chitmba. Lake Malawi is really pretty, the sand is white and the water is really...
