Malawi

Next stop was Malawi. We spent almost a week in Malawi, camped in a couple of different spots around the shores of Lake Malawi. Lake Malawi is so big it looks like the ocean, but isn't very inviting to swim in because of the parasites it contains. Malawi was one of my favourite places I visited because the scenery was gorgeous and the people were friendly and beautiful. Some of my best memories of the whole trip are of talking to the locals in the villages we visited in Malawi. I also found it a very confronting place because the level of poverty is extreme and disease like malaria and aids are really prevalent there. I would definitely like to go back to Malawi and spend some time volunteering with one of the hospitals or schools there.
