9 July (Day 10)

09 Jul

Today was a TRUE rest day! We are at the Livingstonia Beach Hotel in Senga Bay which I have come to think of as one of the closest things to paradise that I have ever found. The hotel is virtually deserted because its out of season and this location is breathtaking.

We have become accustomed to 5.30am wake up and today was no exception so after an early breakfast we devoted time to the bikes to get them washed and generally maintained before settling into a very lazy day of too much sun, food and cold beer.

We are currently 1 day ahead of schedule which we would like to retain so that we can get an additional day in at the Ngorogoro crater in Tanzania which we will get to in about a weeks time.

Tomorrow we sadly depart Senga Bay for Nkhata Bay, approximately 330km north of here along the lake.

The “where are we now” page is not currently updating because cell signal is lousy so although we are currently in Malawi (trust me on this one), the page still says we are in Eastern Zambia…hopefully this will rectify itself tomorrow.

The warrior (right) and the troll being washed and maintained.

BackABuddy Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
