5/12/2010 Shawn was leaving for Tanzania today, so we went to town for lunch and took photos of Will and Shawn in their naughty retro tracksuit attire before saying goodbye to the Swiss Jesus (Shawn). In the afternoon, we played yet more pool and cards as the weather was crap again but we still managed a quick dip in the pool. Into the evening, we got chatting to an English girl who was at Nkhata Bay in Mayoko with us and also a Canadian guy who I challenged at...

Paid off our bills at Mayoko - which they squeezed an extra 16.5% for every food order and a 1% service charge on every drink. However, at 28,000 me and Jack couldn't believe our bill, so I worked it all out and pointed out their mistake - overcharging us nearly 8,000 (35 quid!). We decided to help out Shawn and Will by sharing a taxi back to the capital so they could catch their respective flights. They paid 12,000 each and we paid 4,000 so was a good deal inst...

26/11/2010 Jack and I began the day with peanut butter sandwiches and crisps before a trip to Lilongwe's huge market to find items for a 'Pimp party' for one of the camp's workers (Brian). I haggled a local from like 900 to 500 for a cool 50 Cent-like cap and Jack bought a pink bandana (which he then pussyed out of wearing). As seen as we had done very little in Lilongwe, we caught a bus to Lilongwe Wildlife Centre where we encountered Nile crocs, a lion, leop...

Woke up fully clothed, found more Mozzy bites and discovered I had run-up a small bar tab for billtong and a beer or two....(billtong is like dried meat kind of beef jerky stuff for those that dunno!) Jack and I went to town again and nailed some soft drinks which I needed bad. 3 Fantas cost about a pound. We embarked on our daily shop buying watermelon, mangoes, bananas, margerine and bread, with peanut butter and corned beef (two things that I have never tri...

We were the last people up in our dorm around 9ish and woke up to another s***ty weather day in Lilongwe. We found out that we were in the middle of rainy season.... Jack and I popped to the town again, winding in and out of some terrible traffic on our way to buying ourselves a budget lunch of chicken and ham paste, tuna and a loaf of bread. Tried a Cadbury's Mint Crisp bar but it simply wasn't the same. This time I didn't c*** up at the cashpoint and got 20,00...
