After "Transania" we are looking forward to take rest in Malawi
 |
| ...stinky fish, stinky kitchen, stinky shoes... |
Malawi remains one of the world`s poorest countries, with a per capita GNP of less than US$250. Nearly half the population is chronically malnourished and life expectacy is only 43 years. The HIV infecton rate is "officially" estimated to run to 12 %. Half of the population is under 15 years...
 |
| ...one of the 6 mio. kids under 15 years... |
 |
...lake Malawi is formed by the Rift Valley, it is the third
biggest Lake in Afrika and coveres almost one-fifth of the country... |
There are more than 600 edemic kinds of fishes in the lake,
which we know from our aquariums at home
 |
| ...life at the beach... |
 |
| ...including food-, washing- and toiletplace... |
Roadconditions are various...
 |
| ...gravel roads with baobab-trees... |
 |
| ...gravel roads in the bushes... |
 |
| ...gravel roads with flame-trees (our christmas-tree for this year)... |
 |
| ...some tarmak, a bridge...gravel road... |
Shopping...
 |
| ...tomatos, onion, eggs and spirits... |
Resting, at least...
 |
| ...at the golden beach... |
 |
| ...and waiting for next challenges... |
So let`s go south to Liwonde National Park...
 |
| ...Shire-River, comming out of the lake Malawi... |
 |
| ...around 6000 Hippos... |
 |
| ...countless crocks... |
 |
| ...and 600 elefants... |
 |
| ...are watching this sunsets every evening... |
... and we follow the Shire-river to Mosambik...
 |
| ...on a shortcut-adventure... |
 |
...because Malawi run out
of Coke (no problem)
beer (big problem)
and petrol (real problem) |
...so we reached the boarder to Mosambik with the last drops of petrol
and had to pay US$3 per liter at the black market...
