Senga Bay - Lake Malawi

Saturday 13.04:

It was time for us to leave Cape Maclear to head further up the shore of Lake Malawi to Senga Bay. First we gave a ride to an English backpacker. At a bus stop we dropped him off. Right after we gave a lift to an Israeli backpacker  nearly the whole way up to Senga Bay. We were never asked by one the whole previous journey. It seems Malawi is a backpackers country.

We picked the campsite ‘Steps’ directly at the beach of the Lake. It belongs to a fancy beach resort that is next door. We walked to the village to go to a local restaurant to eat some fresh barbequed fish from the lake. 

The night a storm hit the shore. Our tent was shaking heavily and we heard the sound of the big waves until we fell asleep.

 After a nice relaxing beach day I organized fish and firewood from the campsite guard. I started a little fire and cooked our two fish above the charcoal. After one hour they were sort of ready to eat. I was not happy with the result. It tasted way better when the locals cooked it for us.
