Welcome, welcome, sorry about the mess

So this is my blog, it's mainly about Africa and the fact that I'm going there, but it'll probably go on many a tangent before I'm through. Enjoy reading about my adventures, I know I'll enjoy having them.

one more for the road

and I'm afraid that may me your lot until I'm back in Tanzania on10th June. Internet out here is about 20p a minute and not all that fast. Today was quite random, I went to church like a good girl. The campsite I'm at is pretty much jus tthe back garden of the prespitaryian church so I went there and the associate pastor is Irish, I bagged myself a dinner invite which it would have been rather foolish to turn down. right now anyfood that is neither bread nor cooked by me is heaven. So I'm a bit less home sick now having spent the evening with a load of kids matthews age and remembered what handfuls they can be (little ders that they are) so now i value my solitude thank you very much. He has internet acess at home so I'm saying my peace and then I'm off.
Malawi is amazing, beautiful weather, beautiful lake, all that jazz (hmm must watch Chicago when I get back). I'm in Mzuzu no, tomorrow I'm headed to Nkatha Bay on the Lake to get a steamer across to my little desert island campsite. from there I'll make my decision about Mozambique. Then down to Blantyre to take advantage of he fee brewery tour (includes free tasting session!!) and a paper factory which in a bizarre ay actually seems really appealing. I'm spending everynight under canvas (27 in all I think) which is abnsolouely fntastic.
all off this of course is assuming I find a bank in the morning that'll change Tanzanian Shilling into Kwacha (deffinately the prettiest money though it's a close run thing between it and Macedonian Dinar). If no hen my only option is to Hitchike back to Tanzania...
Don't worry Mum, I'm sure they'll change it.
The whole 'call me' plan kind of fell on it's face as nowehere seems to have a phone, or if they do he don't want to ell me about it and don't understand that an incoming call won't cost them money. Ach well. Can you hang in here for another 37 days? Thats less than 3,000,000 seconds. Yes I did sit and work that out.
