This year has been a bit busy as you must have noticed with the total absence of blog posts, sorry about that. Loads has happened and hopefully I can slowly come back to all events and post some pictures later. However, today I want to share a few pictures from our recent trip to Malawi. These are from the beautiful Mumbo Island in Lake Malawi. I will post more from the countryside and tea plantations, I just snapped a little too many and it has taken me several weeks to go through half of them.  |
| Mumbo Island |
Mumbo Island lies an hours boat ride from the lake shores of Monkey Bay. Here we found the most lovely eco lodge you can imagine. All the huts are built of local material, they have wooden decks with uninterrupted lake views, where they bring you a coffee and tea tray every morning so that you can sit and enjoy the quiet morning before breakfast. All power is from the sun, and every afternoon solar lanterns are put along walking paths so that you can find your way to the restaurant. Shower water is solar heated and brought to the lovely bathroom for bucket showers, which actually work much better than unreliable warm water systems in other places we have stayed at. The lake water is warm and crystal clear and teens took Padi open water certificates. The dive master actually came to stay on the island with us for a few days in order to teach them! Enjoy the pictures, we loved our stay!
