lake of stars

That is the name that Dr Livingston gave to lake Malawi, probably due
to its beauty. But nowadays, Lake of Stars is a music festival that
happens every year on the shores of the lake. thats where we were last
week end, this year it was in Salima, (the middle of the lake) to make
transport easier respect to the usual location in Chinteche at the far
north of the lake.

The same as last year, we were surprised of the amount of muzungus
that travelled all the way from the UK for the party, without having
much idea of where they were. One of them said: but this doesn't look
a very poor country! of course my friend, if you just saw the airport
and you got transfered through stunning landscapes to the lake, and
you are staying in a luxury hotel listening music and drinking beers...

Anyway, we had a lot of fun, which was the propose of going there.
meeting with people we had not seen in a long time, listening really
good music and dancing like mad for three days!
