Nyika plateau

Nyika plateau III

Ivonne left yesterday and it was pretty sad.. We knew it was going to happen but you cannot really believe it until the day arrives. We also had to give Bwenzi (Ivonne's cute dog) in adoption to a German family. I'd have loved to keep her but I don't really have a garden and it would be difficult for Bwenzi..

Anyway, the week before Ivonne's departure we visited Nyika plateau, in the north of Malawi. Nyika is the biggest park in Malawi and is based in an impressive plateau at more than 2000 m high. Is quite difficult to get there (100km of dirt road) but totally worth it. We camped despite the freezing cold nights and we got lost driving around the park. There are no signs at all and is very difficult to find your way!
On the way down we broke the front shocks of the car and they had to be repaired in an emergency operation because Ivonne was selling the car a couple of days later! Drive slowly if you go to Nyika.

I already put some pictures in my flickr site (follow the link on the right!) As you will notice, I have a new dSLR camera that my parents brought me...
