Day 47 – To Lake Malawi

Liwonde to Cape Maclear, Gecko Lounge

After an easy drive to Cape Maclear we settled in to our lovely chalet on the beach and went for a walk along the Lake Malawi shore. It is an unusual spot with a few accommodation places on the beach but very much a local village still. The locals were washing, cleaning their teeth, washing their clothes and preparing their boats and nets for the nights fishing. Lots of very friendly children playing on the water edge while their parents worked. In the evening the bay was alight with the fishing boats and their kerosene lamps. For tourists a very quiet and peaceful place – at least while the many children aren’t yelling and screaming!
