Day 295 & 296 Malawi 24/08/2011 & 25/08/2011, Nkhotakota Pottery lodge. A couple of days of not doing much.

We have decided to leave going to Lilongwe for a bit longer and instead have spent a couple of pleasant days on the beach at the pottery lodge. It has been a pleasure to spend time with Pete, as he is a very interesting character and has been, and continues to be, on an amazing journey. The lodge itself has been very peaceful, with a good restaurant and generally helpful and friendly staff.

While some of the pottery that they sell is very nice, we have decided that carrying it is going to be impossible and the cost of shipping to the UK is a bit on the expensive side. It is a shame as there were several items that we could very easily have bought.

There is very little to report about our stay aside from a visit to the camp-site by some very playful vervet monkeys. They rather run amok for a while and Pete was constantly defending his gear and trying to stop them from emptying the rubbish bin.

The rest of the time has been spent sitting round a camp-fire and eating rather a lot of toast.

This not so small insect terrorised Debs in the toilet block last night! So much so that I had to go in and investigate; I don't know what was scarier the insect or the chance of being caught in the women's toilet block!
