Livingstonia

So woke up in the mountians overlooking lake malawi today and after a harty breakfast went for a walk in the hills (which we latter found out was the hottest day of the year). first we went to the mechwe falls and then on to livingstonia. cant put on my photos so i have found a random set of photos from some one elses website.

livingstonia was set up as a missionary town after david livingstone made it to the falls and convinced some important dude that slavery was bad davy boy then left and a mission was set up. its remoteness and deaply religious people give it quite an eary fealling some what armish. very friendly people but there was just somthing not quite right about the place. plus with a sun burnt back i was runing off to the shade every ten seconds to hide so we wandered back down the hill to the campsite.

from the campsite there are only two ways out up through livingstonia and then hitch with the strange armish people, along a dirt trac for 40 km or a 17km treck down hill and then wait for a bus. after livingstonia we opted to go down.
