Day 10 North to Senga Bay

We left Mt Mulunje early in the knowledge that we had a seven hour/ 350 km journey.

One hour into our trip we stopped at Blantyre, to drop Grace off with Alvie, a fellow volunteer, whom Grace was going to spend the next few days with, and then proceeded on to an early lunch. Afterward we went to the bank to obtain kwacha for general living expenses and US  dollars for our border crossing into Tanzania. After endless queues and  visiting three banks we were on our way at about 4 pm.

Fortunately we had learnt from our first full day of driving that we needed to be able to navigate at night and had down loaded maps so that we could find our way after dark. Malawi and Africa in general are not into street names or road signs so the GPS proved invaluable. Of course the threat of falling down a pot hole kept our speed down.

We arrived at Senga Bay, on lake Malawi and no are we asked knew of the villas that we had booked. By 10 pm we were looking for any accomodation available but on the third attempt our prayers were answered.
