Malawi

After three days for travel I've now stopped at the beach on the side of Lake Malawi, in the village/backpackers hangout of Nkhata Bay. From my beach hut I can look across the small bay and watch Fish Eagles on their perches. What I can't see is the other side of the Lake, the air is hazy and although it should be possible to see Tanzania on the far shore, in fact it's like being on the edge of the sea.

An uneventful journey to get here with most of the journey done in one day on an express bus from Dar,which really was express, sitting at the front I could see that we rarely dropped below 120km/h the whole way. Thankfully the roads are reasonable. Most of route was through uninhabited wilderness which still seems to make up most of Africa.

On the Malawian side, transport is in beat up mini buses with lots of hassle from touts to get you in their bus. It is a pretty country of wooded hills and of course the Lake.

Since leaving Zanzibar I've met a lot of interesting people. Unfortunately, facebook has decided that I'm a security risk because I'm logging in on a strange machine, even though I've now been doing that for weeks. It doesn't allow me to answer the security questions and has now shut me out. So if people are trying to send me messages, apologies as I can't reply.

Its the question of keeping things secure, but if things are so secure that you can't get into them then why bother?

Next week I shall have to head back to Dar as I'm coming to the end of my trip, but I want to keep on going.
