We drove from Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania all the way down to Lake Malawi in Malawi. We spent 5 days travelling down the West Coast of the Lake before we headed to Zambia. Malawi is by far the poorest country we have visited in Africa, but again, the people are amazing. They dont have a lot but it doesnt phase them.
We spent the 5 days snorkelling, kayaking and spending time on the beaches. We went walking with the local children the to villages and they held our hands for the entire 3km walk in 35 degree heat. I cannot even explain to you all just how hot we were that day. Michelle looked like a boiled beetroot!!
We bought some lovely local stuff from the markets and gave some of our clothes and shoes that we didnt need to the village. We also met a man who introduced himself as "My name is Cardboard...like the box"! His friend was apparently called Chees on Toast. We had our doubts!!
We had a fantastic time in Malawi. I just wish there was more we could all do to help.
