Day 190 – 192: Senga Bay to Cape Maclear
Caro said we should stop typing that we wanted to get an early start and then that it didn’t happen, but we really do discuss it in the evening. Today we again wanted to get [...]
Day 188 – 189: Lilongwe to Senga Bay
We left the backpackers at 09:00 and went straight to the Shoprite mall complex. Around the parking, there are four big food shops: Shoprite, Game, Chipiku and People’s. We started with Game and bought few [...]
Day 185 – 187: Chinteche to Lilongwe (and Johannesburg)
