Malawi

I've now been in Malawi for a little over 24 hours. It poured last night, the first major rain all trip (I've had minor downpours before but never for long). Foretunately today is really sunny but not too hot.

Malawi is really green and lush and surprisingly hilly for such a small country that is dominated by such a big lake. It is even noticably greener than Tanzania, which itself seemed very green compared to Kenya. Then again, Kenya was at the end (hopefully) of a long drought when I was there while to the south in Africa there have been having heavy rainy seasons. The Zambezi is apparently quite full, which will make my view of the falls next week all the more spectacular.

But for now, it is nice to swim, dry out, and actually get on the internet for a few minutes. My opportunities to do so have been very limited as we drive such vast distances across such remote areas.
