8 July (Day 9)

08 Jul

We left Chipata in Zambia and headed for Malawi this morning.

Malawi has a speed limit of 80km/h on ordinary roads and 50km/h through the villages although the villages are all on the main transit roads. It took us 4h30 to do 350km…it was like a slow death!

We are spending the next 2 days at the Livingstonia beach hotel in Senga Bay which is old and basic but unbelievably located right on Lake Malawi, is clean, the food is good and the beers are cold.

We are now 4500km from home.

The local beer is kuche kuche.

BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
