West family

In Malawi now. Beautiful lake, nice people and cheap food… We have unfortunatly had to stay at VERY expensive lodges the past three nights since there seems to be no middle?budget class accomodation. It is shitty brothel-style local places that cost $5 a night or places that target international rich travelers that charge $200 and up. I have managed to negotiate the prices a little but it is still damn expensive. We are now staying in Senga Bay at a very nice fancy lodge. There is a family of small monkeys watching me tight now as I stare at the computer. I’ve got a phone: +265 881278489 (or try +265 0881278489) but not internet connection, so there will be no blog updates or photos for a while.
Today we have to decide what to do next: either we head north in Malawi and hope to find reasonably priced decent accomodation, or we will head to Zambia and make our way to Victoria falls (26+ hours of driving).

Kids are still happy travelers – they appreciate the fancy lodges with swimming pools and kayaks on the beach of the clean clear lake Malawi. Getting bit by a spider is no longer anything to complain about, and seeing monkeys in the trees is an everyday sight.
