Relaxing day

We manage to get a car so we decide to get out of Lilongwe. We travel to Salima to spend the day at the Lake. On our way, we experience two very scary moments: a 500m drive on the wrong side of the road and Johanna asking me to kill a cockroach on her leg while she's driving... We eventually make it safe and sound.

Also known as Lake Nyasa, Lake Malawi is the third largest in Africa and the ninth largest in the world. It occupies one fifth of the country’s total area. Its approximate dimensions are 365 miles (590 km) north to south and 52 miles (85 km) broad. Well... It's so big that you can't see its limits. It's like looking at the sea...

It is simply beautiful… There is sand; the water is crystal clear ... and fresh! - I mean not salty since it’s a lake!!! It feels like we are enjoying a day at the beach... It's good to be able to relax a bit.
