Kande villageAt 7am, AH and I go on a village walk with „Never“ who sometimes also calls homself „Neval“. And then of course he has an English name and a traditional African name that is linked to him coming from a Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Oct 31, 2010
Meeting with DestinyI wake up at first dawn. To me there is nothing more inspiring and peaceful than watching a red sun gently rising above a large expanse of water. The security guard who is meant to guard our compound is fast asleep. Posted by TTraveller in Africa for the anxious | Oct 31, 2010
Still aliveDon't worry, we're still very much alive.

MalawiOur flight to Malawi took a decidedly scenic route via Kenya and Namibia! We arrived in the sleepy capital of Llilongwe at ridiculous o'clock having not booked accommodation. After trying all of the budget options in our Lonely Posted by S Pirouet in African Adventures | Jan 10, 2010
Smile, you're in MalawiFollowing the mighty exploits of Tanzania I found myself wondering how Malawi could possible keep the group happy. What we found was the most laid back and chilled out people I have ever met. In the west the children are Posted by RTW Ross in Round the World....How hard can it be?!? | Mar 16, 2009
A happy last morning in Malawi. Oh yes.For reasons that I never quite understood, Blantyre was absolutely crawling with blighters that can't even crawl, but still make my life miserable. Yes, mosquito b*stards, i mean you. And their continual buzzing presence at night part explains why i Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Sep 28, 2009
The end of MalawiI had pretty much decided I loved Malawi within the first hour of my arrival. Firstly, it had the enormous plus point of not being Nairobi or having anything to do with the hospitals. But of more relevance were two Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Sep 27, 2009

Chizi Chizumulu is small, relaxed, friendly, and home to what I can only describe as the most bizarre and inventive set of 'Give me kids' (http://randomtraveller.travellerspoint.com/83/)in Malawi.
