Sunday 7th August



Today started off with a change of plans. Originally we were meant to go on a boat trip around the lake to see fish and eagles but it was too windy, so instead we went to a luxurious resort called Matakole. It had a massive pool with sun beds so we walked straight to the beach by the lake. It was amazing and we all got great tans/burns! At midday we had a lovely two course lunch and then went back to sunbathing. Everyone enjoyed the time to rest because we've all been working so hard the past two weeks. We then got on Tilly the truck and headed back to our campsite. When we returned, we went outside the campsite gates to see some little stalls selling African crafts. Some of us were hit by a wave of young children - Georgie ending up in tickle fights and Millie ended up on the floor. When we were done, we all finished packing for our next adventure, then had dinner. Lastly, we had a little bonfire on the beach out the back of our lodge and ate s'mores. The day ended with an early night for all as we have an early wake up tomorrow.

    doing nothing by a pool sounds like a well earned treat - hopefully not too sunburned as lots of sun screen was used. (wasn't it Kira?). Great you have been able to blog.

    Hi all, sounds like a very civilised stay at the lake; getting the last of the brick mud from between your toes. Swimming in Lake Malawi is definitely something to tell the grandchildren, along with your other good works. Regarding the tickle fights, do they know who they are dealing with? Tell them it's close to a national sport and we will be expecting a TF gold in Rio; it would be foolish to take on a Brit. Don't forget to protect that lovely skin all of you and enjoy recharging your batteries. Much love, Lee (Millie's Dad) PS something has been puzzling me; did Pearl take a Morris Dancing costume, or improvise? It looked great! (Message for Millie; .... I might have to use my strong hand...) x
