After we left the Gwabi Lodge with our free ride, we arrived in Lusaka! We put up our tents at the Eureka Camping for one night! Nice place, the zebra's, antilopes and giraffes were running around the camp site (unfortunatly we didn't see any giraffe)!
The next morning we had to get up early to catch our bus to Chipata and there we took a taxi to the border. There we walked 100m in no mans land to reach Malawi! Extra stamp in my pasport! Than we jumped into a taxi to Lilongwe, where we stayed for a few days at the Mabuya camp (a place Max and Cas stayed the last time they were in Malawi). There we went to the best Italian restaurant in Lilongwe (according to Max that is and I must admit she was right) for two nights in a row! We also went to a craftsmarket, where I bought a few things!
On thursday we were leaving at noon to Nkhata bay! But first I went to the DHL office so I could quickly send my souvenirs home! But as I should have known by now, there is no quick in Africa! At the DHL office they told me I had to get a certificate that the wood was desinfected! Luckily there was a place that does these things only 5km away, but there they told me it took an entire day... I was beginning to regret that I bought the souvenirs! I told them I didn't have that much time... and after a little extra cash, I got the right forms! I went back to the DHL office only to hear they didn't accept Mastercard... at this time I was going crazy! I jumped back into the taxi to find a Bank only to bump into another problem! The maximum daylimit is 80000 kwatcha(180€) and I needed more! I went back to the DHL office and tried to ship only one thing (the biggest thing) back home, but even then I didn't have enough money! Thank god for the nice lady at the desk! She willing to ship it on her own name (she has a company discount), so I didn't have to carry that big thing around the world with me! I got back just in time to catch the bus! Max and Cas were a little bit stressed!
That evening we arrived at Nkhata bay where we would stay for 5 days, because I was going to do my diving course here! The next moring I went to Aqua Africa to start my diving lessons! I got lucky, there was no one else doing the course. Private lessons!! I had to watch some videos and had to do some studying, but we also did a lot of tests in the water. And of course we did some diving as well! The underwater world is a relaxing and a beautifull world!! Yesterday I had my exams and of course I passed!! All this time Max and Cas where hanging on the beach!
Off to Mozambique today, we're going with a ferry! So if you don't hear from us again...we're at the bottom of Lake Malawi!
