Today we met Ines and Michael who are also staying here for a few days in their campervan. On this trip, they are the first people really overlanding that we have been able to get to know a bit. During the day we bumped into them a couple of times and started exchanging stories and travel tips. Then in the late afternoon they came by with some beers (ginger for me). We gave them our Malawi guidebook and info about our experiences five years ago. They told us about some of the places they have stayed and about their various problems at police road-blocks. We talked while the rain came down, and we all sat under our thatched banda. Our bottle of Amarula came out, and we talked while it got dark and cold. They invited us for dinner so we took the rest of the Amarula over to have with the delicious veggie meal prepared by Ines. All a very tasty treat! We sat up until almost 11pm, which is just about unheard-of for us. It was good to finally meet some other people on the road and have time to chat with them. Very nice people.
