Selena’s Visit

At the same time as the VSO visit my great friend Selena also came to visit. Unfortunately I had to work much of the time she was here but she was able to chill out prior to her trip to Malawi (she had the most epic journey to get here– Glasgow-London-Nairobi-Accra-Lungi – and then the Pelican water taxi to Freetown – on her way to Malawi its Lungi-Accra-Nairobi-Lilongwe then the long drive to Blantyre!)We had a very relaxing weekend with a night at Tacugama Chimp Sanctuary and a night at Hamilton Beach. We had a lovely meal at Tacugama; a rotisserie chicken (which the pesky cats tried their best to get their mitts on, and teeth into!) with stir fry veg and rice, accompanied by a couple of Star beers. It was so cool there I had to use a blanket to sleep! We had a short walk and got to see the chimps again in the morning before heading off to Hamilton. I hadn’t been there for a while and had forgotten just how good the barracuda is. We were joined by Fred, Freya, Laura, Dave, Kath, Carole, Cat, Phillin, Ziggy and Sarah at various points during the weekend and had a chilled out time reading, swimming and eating above-mentioned fish!Thanks so much Selena for coming to see me– it wasn’t exactly a short detour on your way to Blantyre, and it was just brilliant to be able to catch up and show you a small bit of Sweet Salone!
