This past weekend Noortje and I traveled to Nkhata Bay, Lake Malawi, an escape to a waterfront paradise. The lake is still very untouched by tourism; reachable by a potholed narrow road. We stayed in little waterfront huts with eco-toilets settled on a cliff by the water. The local population rowed by in canoes made of hollowed-out tree trunks. This Malawian fish eagles flew past our boat to retrieve fresh fish we tossed in the water (see photo).
Our serene weekend was quickly disrupted when we returned home by public transportation: a rattling minibus meant for 12 in which we squeezed 18 people, 1 chicken and 5 very large bags of cassava and bananas (see photo). On our way home we passed by the lively fruit and vegetable market in Mzuzu.
