Today we Travelled approximately 350km North from Senga Bay to Nkhata Bay along Lake Malawi. Because we left quite early we took an easy ride stopping frequently to take pictures of busy Saturday morning markets and people going about their lives.

We are spending the night at Njaya Lodge in Nkhata Bay which requires one to travel approx 3km along what might have been a road 1000 years ago! The lodge itself is SUPER Basic which is not a problem but hygiene doesn’t feature highly on their list of important factors which for me, is! To all you pariahs that have been ragging about our cushy and comfy trip so far, scroll down!!

The town of Nkhata Bay is a small but busy typical African town which is dominated by its market which in themselves are always fantastic to walk through because of the people, the signs and the variety of goods.

We were originally intending to spend another day in Malawi but have elected to move on into Tanzania tomorrow so that we have a little extra time to deal with some expected poor road conditions between Iringa and Ngorogoro in Tanzania.
