After an eight-hour
flight to Nairobi and then another two-hour flight to Lillongwe…I am nearly at
my final destination, Mulanje. However, I have a few hours in Lilongwe before I
catch my bus.
As the taxi drove into
the city form the airport I failed to see the hustle and bustle of what I had
imagined. I turned to my driver and asked him if we were in the suburbs, he said
no to my surprise. We were pretty much in the centre.
Looking out of the car
window I saw children walking home from school, street sellers who seemed
extremely laid back and no traffic what so ever. Billy my driver laughed as he
said, ‘this is the way it is... locals take things slow and go with the flow!’
As I got out of the
cab no one bothered me or tried to sell me anything…instead I was greeted with
friendly faces and smiles. I grabbed a quick bite to eat and made a move to
catch my bus to finally arrive to my final destination Mulanje.
