Journey to Mzuzu

I only just caught my bus, that left 45 minutes late (due to Malawi time) because the Taxi driver taking me to the station was also on Malawi time. The other reason was because two Japanese ladies showed me which bus to get, haggled for my ticket and dragged me through the scrum onto a seat they'd saved. No hurry in Africa? The coach, yes coach, was comfortable though, and the views were amazing. Yoko had the nerve to grab the window seat then fall asleep, but I didn't mind too much, as at every stop we had to get out (so the police could search the bus) so I got to see many local towns. The photo is from one such stop by an amazing market. Just imagine, they're really shouting 'getchore appows, free pahnd a pahnd'. Or something like that. Fred would have loved the Geology, I just loved the sights.
