Daily Journal Entry:

Today we continue on our way through Malawi and along Lake Malawi.  We stop in Mzuzu in mid-morning for some shopping.

 

We stop for lunch at 1:30 PM at a series of handicraft shops which sells some of the wood carvings that are famous in this area.  So, in between eating lunch, we browse through the shops.  In the end, we pick up a couple of Malawi chairs and a wooden bowl for reasonable prices.  By 3 PM we are on our way (and thinking about where we are going to put all this stuff that we just bought).

We arrive at Kande Beach just after 4 PM and set up camp.  We set up our tent on the beach overlooking the lake - a great view.  After working on our journals for a while, we help prepare dinner.  After dinner, we hang out in the bar for a while, having a couple of drinks and playing table soccer.  The team of Paolo and Lars crushes all competition.

 

We head off to bed shortly before midnight and enjoy another wonderful night sky from our tent.  The moon is up and again there are some lightning storms in the distance.  We enjoy another great show as we fall asleep.
