Malawi

Our next port of call was Malawi, we had a long drive arriving at our campsite late afternoon.  The campsite was great and we set up our tents just a few meters from the beaches of Lake Malawi, it had a bar, loads of water sports (for those crazy enough to go into the lake) and someone to do our laundry for us, it was a little piece of heaven.  The campsite was busy for our first night as there were 4 different tour trucks, our second night was much quieter.

Most of us spent the day relaxing at the beach, working on our tans and watching the world go by whilst gossiping on the beach and in the bar.

After 2 days at our camp site we departed and headed for a different site to get us closer to the Tanzania border.  Our campsite was again great and located on the beach.

We had a little more free time when we arrived so a few of us decided to visit the local Witch Doctor and have our futures told.  We walked through the local village to get to the Witch Doctor and got to play with some of the local kids which were all so excited to see us.

We also had a chance to visit the local markets which was predominantly filled with wood carvings and some smaller jewellery pieces, it was nice to interact with the guys that run the shops and have a chat with them.

All in all it was a nice relaxing few days in Malawi before our long days of travel into Tanzania.
