Last nights few beers turned into slightly more than planned. We had a interesting chat with Fiona and Thiemo, two overland truck leaders. From them we got some useful information about our route ahead and heard some interesting stories about their times in Africa.
Any likelihood of us moving on today ended after last nights beers. Instead we got the maps out and had a good look at some potential stopping points along the road to Malawi. Thanks to Thiemo we have a bit more information about camp-sites, so we should be alright for at least a few days. It seems that the road we are taking, albeit a main one, is seldom used so traffic won't be a problem.
Lunch in the bar was followed by some reading and then people watching in the camp-site. There has been a fairly constant flow of overland trucks in and out of here since we arrived. Our stay has been entertaining, but we will be quite glad to move on tomorrow where it will hopefully be quieter. A large group of American teenagers camped right close to us, doesn't bode well for a good nights sleep.
If you happen to stay at Meserani Snake Park, ask to see the 'stupid book' at the bar. It is jam-packed with ridiculous questions asked by overland truck passengers and bar patrons.
