Sun, water and sand!

We’ve heard a lot about the nice Lake Malawi, so we planned to go there the past weekend. After som hot days in Zambia, we thought that it was rather cold here in Mzuzu. So we were ready for some heat, beach and a lake to swim in:) It took some time to get there..since the public transport is lincensed to carry 17 persons, we had to stop, let 4 people out before we passed police-road-blocks. After passing we had to wait for the walking passengers on the other side.. But eventually we arrived!

Another group of Norwegians were there already, so we met them on Friday afternoon, and after a nice lunch, we had down to the beach. It was hot!! But I loved it:) They say it might be some parasites in the water, but we didn’t care…it was too hot to not swim. It was nice laying there, thinking of the time of the year..coming to the end of September, and I still have summer!

Local fishermen, getting ready for take off!

We decided to use public transport to get home. It’s a lot cheaper, and it can be an interresting experience! After some waiting to be filled up, we were on our way. Not totally ful, but off we went. We drove for about 15 minutes before we stopped. Well, we couldn’t do other than wait. 30 minutes passed…after 45 we were on the road again! We had some heavy load in the car, 100 kilos of rice, and up hill we needed speed, so down-hill..well, you can do the math your self. He didn’t exactly stand on the brakes. It was that kind of an experience you tell your family about after you have survived. And, taadaa! We did!

It was good to be home in Mzuzu. Home to our apartment, to Roger, our house-rat, to the hot showers and to our own food. We are ready for a new week!
