Well we have now been here for a full week. Unfortunately we still cannot upload photos but we are working on that. This week we have been working on our community project with All Saints Secondary School and St Andrews Hospital in Mtunthama.

We have been doing various jobs through the week including construction, helping out at the hospital, teaching the students and helping re-paint the sign at the entrance. While we stay here we have been given a house which is a great luxury though we're still sleeping in tents to avoid the mosquitos.

Our most important contribution has been to the construction of the science laboratory. Not only have we been helping to build it but we have also been using our project money to help pay for things like cement and bricks.

So far the group has managed to get by without loosing or breaking any equipment which is a good start and if we keep it up for the other three quaters of the trip that'll be great.

Well it's been ages since we last updated but this is the first chance we have had. Since we last updated we have finished our community project and had a leaving party with the locals at the school which involved both us and them singing songs and dancing.

After we Mtunthama we travelled to Mulanje mountain where we spent six days trekking to various huts where we'd camp each night. We even climbed the tallest peak which is called Sipitwa -literally mean "don't go there in english"- and is roughly 3000m above sea level. The photos are fantastic and although we still can't upload them at the moment they will definately be up eventually.

It was a very tired group that descended from the mountain but we were all really happy with what we had achieved. With the hardest part of the trip out of the way we headed to our next destination which was an island called Domwe Island which is just off of Cape Mclear. Getting to the island involved a relatively short trip which saw us paddling along in kayaks with two of us in each boat. Ah but the island itself. We thought we'd be camping again which we was fine with us but it turned out that we were being given cloth hut-like things that had beds in them! We spent a whole day on the island during which we were doing such arduous tasks as snorkeling and swimming.

We left the island two nights after our initial arrival and after camping on night we got taken back to Lilongwe. We're currently back in Mabuya Camp and tommorrow we're leaving for the final stage of the trip which is the safari in Zambia. We're all pretty excited about this as we've been looking forward to it since we got here. We're not sure exactly what we'll see but we hope that at some point we'll see the members of the big 5.

I'm not sure when we'll next be able to update though it'll probably be after the safari. Everyone has been really glad to see the messages and we're all mssing home.

Well this is it. Hard to believe that this is the last full day we will spend in Malawi. We're back in Mabuya Camp having finished our Safari yesterday and we all can't wait to start the journey back (despite the fact that we're going to have to spend 10 hours in Nairobi between flights).

But how did the Safari go? It was great. On the first day we went out in the morning in two jeeps, one was meant to follow the other but that didn't really happen. Initially we saw the more common animals like the various species of Antelope as well as some Hippos and Elephants. However we weren't out for long when we got a call over the radio to say that one of the other groups who were there had found a Leopard. Our jeep sped off with us calling to the other one to follow us as they didn't know what was going on. Wen we got there we couldn't initially see the Leopard but once we got closer we found it in a depression in the ground. We think it had been trying to hunt something but the six or so jeeps surrounding it kind of spoiled that. We followed it for as long as we could until it stalked off into a thicket that we couldn't drive through. We returned to the camp and got ready for our later drive.

We went out again later on in the day as it was getting dark because it meant different animals would be coming out. Once again we were treated to the same sights initially but things picked up when we started to see a few new thing like Gennets (small cats). We were in for a treat again as we spotted a couple of Lion cubs hiding in a bush. Unfortunately we couldn't really see them properly from where we were and we couldn't get any closer. However that wasn't the end of our Lion spoting. We found two female Lions and a cub sitting out in the open waiting for it to get dark. Quite a lot of time was spent watching them but it was well worth it for the photos. After it had gotten properly dark and we were using a spot-light to look for things we were greeted by another surprise. Two male Lions emerged from a hiding place and we spent a while following them and getting more great pictures. It wasn't too much later that we had to return to our camp but it had been a great night.

The next morning was similar to the previous one with us setting off in our jeeps and initially seeing a lot of Hippos and other things. Unfortunate we didn't see anythigng spectacular in the morning (however we did spend a while looking fr a Leopard that we though was somewhere close) though we still enjoyed ourselves.

The night run was just as enjoyable as the mroning one had been with los of animals but nothing particualrily rare. However one group did get a surprise when they has stopped to look at a Hyena and an Elephant suddenly walked out of a bush right beside them, they were pretty sure that it was going to do something about them but it didn't do anything more than complain a little.

After two short days of Safari in Zambia we're back in Lilongwe and are currently just waiting to go out for our last meal. There'll still be another post from us when we get back with all the photos and probably a couple of videos as well. Until then wish us luck with our numerous flights.

While we're writing this we're sitting in a cafe waiting for a meal in Nairobi airport. Our start to the day was a little hectic as the bus we hired didn't show up be we managed to get a different one instead. We had no problems checking in at the airport in Lilongwe and our flight went fine.

However now that we're in Nairobi we face the problem of the 6 hour waiting time for our next flight. This would be a lot worse if it wasn't for the fact that quite a few of us have bought the new Harry Potter book (and cheaper than it could've been.) So we're all just waiting for the flight that'll take us back in to Europe and we're all excited about the thought that we'll actually be home tommorrow. Lets just hope we've been sat near to each other on the upcoming flights.
