Malawi to Mozambique

Arrived at Bernadette in Mozambique last night – 4th country, on day 79 of our trip.



Our last blog was of Cape Maclear, from where we went a bit further south, near Mangochi, bottom end of lake.

Met a sweet couple, Henry & Maggie,

who had planted a church a few weeks prior, who invited us to teach at their Sunday meeting.

This was held in a nearby welding shop, with the metal, gears & bits of scrap swept aside for the few hours of the meeting. After a vibrant time of worship – accompanied by a single small homemade drum, I taught on prayer & faith using examples of seeds from a large local Nsango tree. It was a good time & great fun too.

...Then moved to Liwonde National Park, which is really beautiful – rocky hills, mopane forests and grassland, swamps and a river runs through it (the Shire, which is the only river draining Lake Malawi.)

At the Chinguni Campsite, managed by Mariska & Pieter, who is restoring Land Rovers out a ‘graveyard’ these vehicles in the camp. Pieter is currently driving the 100th Landy he has owned. Look out for article on him & Landys in the latest ‘Drive Out’ and SA 4x4.

Watching the sunset from a ‘the tree house’ platform overlooking the Shire

Bridge being rebuilt at Liwonde.

One of several homebuilt welding machines seen in Malawi- and it’s connection.

Seen in Blantyre.

Stopped in to Blantyre to stock up with supplies, camped at the NCMI church base overlooking the city, then left yesterday, crossed the border at Milange, and here we are….

Next instalment…. What’s potting here at Bernadetteville.
