Southern Africa travels to Malawi
From Livingstone to Monze
We passed many trucks, bicycles, pedestrians and a train on this leg of the journey. We had to charge our car battery as it was flat, before we could leave, this particular morning.

Camping with Crocodiles
The reality of crocodiles. I was afraid of the crocodiles, well who wouldn’t be? We had been warned that the crocodiles are active during the day; this is when they will prey upon you.

Popa Falls: The ups and downs.
I became scared because I was all alone. I paced up and down but still Derek didn’t appear. I waited and waited. Then my mind began to go crazy with scary ideas.
