Days 285 & 286 – Malawi

July 17 & 18, 2010 – Mzuzu, Malawi

Eric and I wake up excited for our trip to Nyika National Park, but unfortunately we have a problem… my back is still acting up and Andrew has opted to stay in town for another day. So we settle back into Pine Tree and go for a wander into town.

Upon our return, Eric is delighted to find that the housekeeper has changed our sheets. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but once you see the sheets she put on the bed, you’ll understand why…


I seriously thought Eric was going to have a heart-attack from the excitement.

The next morning we wake up to a torrential rainfall. Plus, my back has not improved enough to handle a 4+ hour ride on bumpy roads. So it looks like there will be no trip to Nyika for us today, which is very disappointing.

So Eric and I spend the rest of the day putting together a 1000-piece puzzle of “36 Places in Africa to See Before You Die”. When the puzzle is finished, we’re excited to find out we’ve been to 12 of them on this trip already.
