Malawi

hey,

I know its been a while since I have updated anything, but the internet hasn't been very accessible here in Malawi. We have spent the majority of our time on islands, mountains, and secluded beaches away from any means of contact.

Anyways, we have been in Malawi for a couple of weeks now, and so far I think we both would agree that this place has been the highlight of our trip. We've managed to see tons of cool places and have met so many travellers (I think the biggest surprise about malawi was how many backpackers there are here, particularly canadians).

The reason I have loved Malawi so much is because I was finally able to complete my scuba diving certification which I have longed to do for so many years now. It was a great place to do it because it is the cheapest place in the world and we were able to do get lots of open water dives in...5 in total. Im pretty stoaked for Egypt and diving in the red sea!!!

Last night we got back from hiking Mt Mulanje. We went up there for three days with a group of people that we have been travelling with for a while now, but unfortunately we got rained out on the second day and were unable to do the summit. It was rather disappointing as the views off the Mt are suppose to be spectacle. On the bright side, the rain provided us with a very eventful walk down. All of us resembled turtles as we spent the majority of the time on our backs falling down the steep terrain. Luckily there were no serious injuries except for very sore bodies today.

We have 5 days left here and then were off to Egypt. I'm feeling somewhat sad about leaving this country as it has been so unbelievable, but I'm sure I'll make it back here someday.
