My last night in Malawi - aawww. Today was an action packed day with a 6 am start for our 25 km hike up to Livingstonia and then dancing with the local witch doctor. Although my legs aren't happy with the walk today, they will be tomorrow when we spend ALL day sitting on our butts and driving into Tanzania.
Chris, me, Sumna, and Nick at the start of our death hike, 25 km and 7 hours of hiking to the top of that ridge behind us.
Incase you were looking for an investment opportunity. Get your glasses and read the sign.
Coffee and bananas on our hike up.
Some of our fellow walkers.
Sumna, me, Chris and Nick in Livingstonia - we made it!
The Livingstonia mission. Amen.
Stained glass in the mission. David Livingstone is the one in the middle, the one with locals in awe of him on either side.
Chris, me, Sumna and Nick infront of Malawi's longest waterfall - 800 meters tall. I think it would have had more of a wow factor if I had seen it before Vic Falls. :)
Mini waterfall.
The local witch doctor, Benson, sporting the newest in hospital fashion - the scrub dress.
Me getting my groove on with the witch doctor. This is how he sees into one's future - however I was too cheap to pay him extra to find out what it was he saw exactly. It seems as if the standard fortune for the others had to do with marriage, kids and good health. . . so I felt pretty secure in my future too. (Not counting that one palm reader a few years ago who told me I was going to die at an early age.)
Why, whatever would the witch doctor need with a burning stick and hot coals you ask? To eat it of course. silly!
