Well we have made it to country number 4 – Malawi and it is definately the warm heart of Africa. The people are friendly, the sun shining and the stunning waters of Lake Malawi warm.
We have spent the last few days on the southern shores of Lake Malawi at Cape Maclear and it is picture postcard beautiful. Lake Malawi is fresh water and stretches for as far as the eye can see and is apparently up to 100 metres deep.
Today we spent snorkelling around one of the islands – it was like swimming in an aquarium with hundreds of colourful fish which you feed by hand. I have never seen such vivid colours – blue, yellow, red – in freshwater fish. It did however get a little much once the bread was finished and they started nibbling on me (evidenced by my quick exit from this photo).
On the trip back we fed the local sea eagles which Dave managed to capture in all its beauty – this did however take a number of takes – which the sea eagle was happy to oblige given he was getting an easy feed.
A photo of Dave - wildlife photographer extrodinaire - is also included for those wondering if he is actually on the trip given the lack of photos on the blog.
We are going to track the lake up most of Malawi – I think it is going to be hard to convince me to leave.
