Vacation Re-Cap: Southern Malawi

After we returned from our adventures in Zambia and Zimbabwe we took a few days in Lilongwe to recover before setting off for Southern Malawi. Over the next week we did the circuit of interesting places.

Mua Mission - the site of my last quarterly meeting and subject of this blog post.

Blantyre - the site of another one of our trips and the subject of this blog post, where we golfed, swam, and enjoyed the 'big-city' ambiance.

Zomba - the colonial capital of Malawi. It's now a cute small town with interesting historical building nestled next to the Zomba plateau, a great place for hiking - which is what we did.

Cape Maclear - the laid back village on Lake Malawi where we spent a weekend in August. We snorkeled, kayaked, and survived one hell of a thunder storm.

This isn't an exhaustive list of everything there is to do south of Lilongwe but it's pretty darn close.

Here's the view from the Zomba plateau, which is so high up that you can see Lake Malawi on a clear day (which we definitely didn't have - it was pretty rainy):

And here's where we hung out in Cape Maclear on a thankfully sunny day:

Zach's parents fly back to the US in just a few hours and then we'll be officially back to normal in the new year!
