Somehow three weeks have already past since departing from the chaos of the concrete jungle of Cape Town and already we have been amidst the sublime land of Malawi for two weeks:)
We ventured through to Mozambique with the intention of floating there for at least two weeks, but the hostility of the locals and the not so cheap lifestyle, created a longing to travel onwards towards Malawi. After a solid week of travelling through the beautiful tropical landscape of Mozambique, we finally arrived at the Detsa border of Malawi where we were lovingly met by family friends (we consider them family :) ) Betsie, Marius and their four year old boy Brian.
We have been residing with Betsie and Marius in their home situated in Lilongwe, since we arrived in Malawi and shall do so until we continue travelling through Malawi whilst volunteering upon various organic farms/ smallholdings/ backpackers and so on.
By the weekend we were already venturing through to the lake, (which isn't nearly as far as we thought), where we spent the night at a lodge named Red Zebra and ate scrumptious food, or rather I stuffed my face to say the least.
As soon as we arrived at the blissful serenity of Lake Malawi we headed towards the water elements and cleansed ourselves in the clarity of our range of vision.
Mmmm, my heart longed to remain in the water until the next day, but unfortunately had to frolick through to the eating area to consume delicious food morsels.
The next morning we departed from Red Zebra, so Betsie and Marius could allow us to explore a few other vicinities along the lake. We first travelled through to a beach named Livingstonia Beach and as we strolled along exfoiliating sand particles, we happened to discover a gigantic, ancient Baobab tree (these sacred tree beings reside upon the majority of the land), possibly the oldest and wisest we had had the privilege to witness so far.
We continued towards a beach named Safari Beach where an immense amount of Baboons and Vervets roam and play. Skye and I decided to hire a Kayak for two hours, so we could float along the shore and source a secluded area to douse ourselves within the lake once again.
During the afternoon of the Sunday we had to travel back to Lilongwe and wave our au' revoirs to the lake...for now :)
Anywho, below you shall source a few memory catchments of the weekend :)
