Pepani, Pepani
"Sorry, sorry" for not managing to write for a while! I have been very busy with my motorbike training and incountry stuff provided by VSO.
I'm currently in the capital ,Lilongwe. I had to get a bus down which was very stressful! Dehydration started the day before in preperatio for the journey and the lack of toilet facilities! We arrived at the bus station at 6.00am hoping to get the posh bus but it never turned up! Quite common apparently. We boarded a red bus that looked quite good. Now in Malawi a bus does not leave anywhere until it is full. Ours was no different. We boarded the bus at hlaf 6 and were still waiting at 8. Finally I thought we were ready to go but no, there were another 20 isle seats that folded down. 1 hour later and 6 trips to the tolitet and we were away!! The trip itself wasn't too bad and made a few scheduled stops. Mind you by this time I was about to pass out with dehydration. But I still managed to go at every stop!!
Made it to Lilongwe and checked into a good hotel - hot showers and all. Had a week of entertaining motorbike training with 16 other folk. 2 of whom had never even been on a push bike. I didn't fall off and was taking the bumpy roads at 50 kpm to try and stay with the cockey Kenyan boys!!
I am currently on my in cournty stuff which is boring but great to be with all the folk I arrived with. The hightlights so far are a trip to a traditional healer who was all dressed up and chenting this random nonsence about witches and spirits. How these people believe it all is beside me. Just back from the lake which was great - managed to snorkel around a little island - dad you'd be jealous! Got up to watch the sun rise at 4.20 but gave up an hour later and went back to bed. It eventually came up at 6.00!!
Have now taken to drinking beer as it is the only cheap thing that you can get. Also Malawi's own gin is drinkable as well. One of the best things about being in the capital is the ex-pat community so it is ok for a group of you to go out and get drunk!! Mind you I wouldn't want to be doing it all the time!! The other good thing is the food - you can buy just about anything! I'll be stalking up for the journery home!
Hope all is well! Caz xx

Hey Caz,
Loving the stories! Sounds like the transport in Malawi is certainly different - will keep in mind your experiences for the day job back here!
Never thought I would see you turn to beer and gin but I guess needs must!
Take care.
