The wheels on the bus.....

Today was the best day yet!  We slept in til 7:00, had devotions and sit down to a relaxing breakfast and then started to Mzuzu. 

 Bus riding is an adventure in Malawi, especially this distance.  There is the seating arrangement (where do all the bags go?), the passing of food around the bus and who gets the last one, the teasing and picture taking when you fall asleep, the check points ( no one smile or show a camera) and then the calculations of the next bathroom.

BUT also you get to enjoy the scenery as it changes to mountains,the joking, the varied modes of transportation you see, the amount of cargo piled on bicycles, and maybe a quick nap.  For me, seeing familiar sites as we approached Mzuzu, recognizing familiar faces, relishing in the improvements made this the best day yet.  Oh, yes, Robert welcomed us at Luwinga Lodge.  He is just the same with his big smile!
