The steps cut into the hillside at Mayoka Village are treacherous and as we were leaving one poor girl fell over with a glass in her hand and was badly cut. We gave her our taxi to head into town (the road is so appalling we really felt sorry for the rough trip she had to take to the hospital) – rather her than us being sewn up! We caught the next taxi to Mzuzu, passing an overturned bus on its side (could have done without that). Apart from suffering a flat tyre on the way it was uneventful and the taxi driver was really helpful in getting us and our luggage onto the bus – two seats together, yay!! Not too long ago we were interested in how comfy the bus seats are, now we are ecstatic if we just get a seat!
After arriving at Karonga around 5pm we did the usual hassle for a taxi and set off for the Lonely Planet’s recommendation of Safari Lodge Annex. Maybe we need to write to LP because if they considered this better than its sister place - we would have hated to have seen that! Definitely the worst place we have stayed on any trip. Food was also pretty average, and the options seem to be reducing as we travel north – now maybe the weight loss will begin!
