Malawi
Malawi is a peaceful African state, inhabited by peaceful people, and governed by Presidents normal, re-elected without the strength, however entrandoci must comply with certain rules, such as your shoulders covered for women and no piercings anywhere, and no hair from punck. Or at least that when we were still in customs in Tanzania, then one can believe in doing what they want. Who are you to say for the way that you have a pierced tongue?
It was called Lake Niassa now Lake Malawi is like a big sea and everything runs from top to bottom. We camp in the most north of the lake to Karonga in the morning where black women with containers on their heads towards the shore of the lake, their husbands are back in the wooden boats by night fishing. Here is not recommended to swim in the lake due to the presence of bacteria bilasia.
But in the days following the center of the lake but most of all stop when a monkey bay for a few days, they are that the bathroom can make them. Nicola and I are always in water, even a day I do my first draft with the cylinders in a lake with fresh water. The feeling of not having salt on the lips is very pleasant. At 12 meters are still a lot of tropical fish of the lake.
The eagle, the fish here is the mistress and ACCHIAPPA fish with feet to tutt'andare. Cercopitechi The monkeys are too nice, do pirouettes on the beach and I filmo for a long time. Even the colored lucertoline on rounded rocks are brought home in Italy on television.
At camp this resort, there are some South Africans but also of the whites of Malawi, of course here is renowned for Malawi for the holidays because the sea there is in this state.
Unfortunately we do not see a national park, too out of hand and the mountains
This economy is based mainly on the tobacco tea and sugar are the most exported products.
Our means of transport, the Truck Truck of Africa, including stops in Lilongwe, the capital, where Nicola finally after 2 weeks, call your mother that pull your ears for the long silence, and I increase the dose, it is a Biricchino this boy Valeggio on mincio VR.
His biciclettina who had led by Italy which was unsolder from the many blacks who have used, and that he wanted to throw, has been under my advice, bartered in the marketplace of souvenirs of Lilongwe, for a board. so they protect it and use it instantly for the next twenty years.
That night we camp on the edge of town, here we find another truck in camp africa, the company Guerba expeditions. We had already met at other times during the long journey of 2 months which takes us from Kenya to South Africa, in fact the routes are equivalent, and from time to time we riincontriamo. Drivers are 2 girls, 2 and with our drivers, each time when the spin. And in this case, that evening around midnight, at 3 meters from my tent drunk rotten. E 'is because they have to fill beer when not driving, who else is fun?
The day, after breakfast, I see that the boys of Guerba, having washed the dishes, keeping them dry in the hands and waving back and forth until they are dry, they say that is the most hygienic way, Mah!.
All the trucks go up after putting in the compartment, the large grid that we use to cook the steaks and put the pots above the fire, and we start towards Zambia, where we arrived an hour later. Along the way, driving on the left, we see scenes of local life, for example, they cut the grass with a kind of macete standing with his back bent, and women sweep the ground for them too with a grenade (scopino) well being, folded with the back, must be a punishment this tradition. hello hello
