Other travels

Access to money was key to the many adventures we took while my mom visited. This is Peter, our drug dealer, as mom lovingly called him. The first night at Chameleon's. The bus ride from hell. Thank goodness they sold bags of ice at one of the 30 stops we made. Unfortunately the camera broke on the way so we don't have any pictures from the lake. The nicest portion of the trip was Satemwa Tea Estates, one of the most beautiful places in Malawi. After such a miserable trip to the lake on public transport, mom wanted to hitch. This was my contribution to getting a ride: Once we got to the turn off for Satemwa, it was only another 5 km (3.1 miles) to the actual house. It took a lot of convincing, but mom managed to take a bike taxi. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, completed by a deep bath tub with lion feet. The food was great, and each meal was served somewhere different. Tea Tasting.
