Only 35 days had passed since we returned to Africa. What we had been through in the last four countries was so intense that they seemed 350 days. We accumulated more than 2000km of exuberant mountains, crystal-clear blue lakes, african jungle, savanna and bush filled with wild animals. However, by the time we got to Mbeya -a big city in southern Tanzania- and were ready for a well-deserved break, Josefina, Julia's sister who had come to visit us, was ready to go. The
reward for having cycled across such rough roads was not only a couple of
great bed and food days, but fortunately it was Malawi. This place is
one of the most beautiful, quiet and easy-to-ride countries in the whole
Africa, and it was a particularly beautiful Malawi now because, having
Josefina as a company, we were forced to reduce our pace of cycling-warriors, so
that she could keep up with us.
