I've been in Malawi for about a week. Nice scenery, kind but poor people. I heard the life expectancy is 43. Aids and safe child birth problems are big concerns. I flew for the first time in Africa from Harare Zimbabwe to Lilongwe Malawi. Flew Malalian Airways, they have been in business about 7 months. Good flight and a nice break from the bus. Speaking of the bus, Ive had some memorable bus trips this past week. 18 people in a p/u truck, 19 people in a van and a full size bus that was so crowded I had to stand in the packed isle for 6.5 hours. At least they got me to where I wanted to go.I have spent most of my time on the shores of Lake Malawi at Senga Bay and Nkhata Bay.(see pictures) I'm off to Tanzania tonight, hope to do one or two more safaris.
