Had a final swim with the Lake Malawi cichlids before
breakfast and boarded the boat back to the mainland at 9.30.
With plenty of time for once – we looked around the curio
stalls of Cape Maclear before heading on the relatively short drive south to
Liwonde and managed to stop off a few times en-route to wander around one of
the many village markets plus fit in the obligatory supermarket shop.
We arrived at the Liwonde Park gates at about 3.15 pm but
got stuck behind a group of 10 teenage volunteers sorting out their entrance
paper work – organised chaos!! The 28km drive
from the gate to the camp took about an hour (including delays for “Elephants” crossing
the road) - so by the time we actually got to our pitch at Mvuu Camp the sun
was about to set. Not ideal when there are hippos and elephants around but got
camp set up and started diner. Having had fantastic food for the last few days,
it had to be too good to last, tea was a bit of a disappointment having bought
old boot disguised as beef!!
