Domwe is a beauuutifull little island in the lake owned by the national parks. you have to arrive by boat- either kayak your self out, or hire the boat from Chembe village to transport you and your kitundu (luggage)- and there's no lodge, but instead, what is probably the most scenic and most luxuriously outfitted campsite i've ever seen.
so, since last week was my birthday, the last official day of my contract, and conveniently enough the end of term for luke and joshua, we all took a 5 day vacation....
my malawi boys (luke and joshua) absolutely despise the beach, water, sunshine, snorkeling, kayaking etc etc. so we had a really miserable time.
the night we arrived was my actual brithday, so we watched the sunset and ate cake ( the one that Frank made before i left, which was apparently supposed to be a surprise) from the lakeside 'dining room'
we also learned that Skittles the Skink likes birthday cake too....
after travelling alone for months on end and getting used to spending far too much time stuck in my own head, it was great to have josh and luke serving as extra-strength dull moment repellent.
and besides the boys. there were also baboons civet cats and giant water monitors lurking... kept things interesting, especially after dark.
