We got to Lilongwe at 16:45 with less than an hour of sunlight left and still 110km of road to cover. It was risky but we decided to push on and although it was perhaps a little danegerous because of the, mountainous road, the people, traffic and animals and the speeds we were pushing, by the time we got to the Livingstonia we were all on such a high that we didnt even bother to change out of our riding gear and went straight to the bar\u2026..It turned into a very long, hot and hilarious night after that!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.capetocairo2010.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC03001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right-width: 0px; display: inline;
