Paul's tracker seems to be sort of working today - shows them as having set off from Chitimba climbing away from the Lake for a while. This is a description of what lies ahead.
After crossing into Malawi the Tour follows the shoreline past fishing villages to Chitemba Beach, which has been a haven for Africa Overlanders for many years. Malawi is especially well known for its skilled hardwood carvers, and here they will find a large crafts market with beautifully made walking sticks, chairs, “trees of life,” Chitemba Beach offered a wonderful respite from the journey.
Leaving Lake Malawi there is a climb up the escarpment into the central plateau en route to the provincial capital of Mzuzu. Here it is quite normal to be pedaling alongside some of Malawi’s many cycling farmers, as they transport chickens, grain, and just about anything between their villages and the nearest market. Then the riders swoop back down to the shores of Lake Malawi and a well-earned rest day at Kandi Beach.
