The long hike to Livingstonia

Got up at 6. Had agreed with a Canadian couple to hike to Livingstonia - somewhere up in the mountains. On the sign in the village it said 15 km. How hard could that be. Based on our guides recommendation about "Bad men in the mountains we hired a local guide to do the walk with us. So we left at 7.
10 hours later we returned to camp. Having hiked at least 20 km. Our guide was pretty good with shortcuts and even though they were steep (both up and down) they helped shave some kilometers of the trip. How nice for once to be able to do some physical acitivity.
We got all the way to the top of the mointain - only to realise that it was on the next ridge that Livingstonia was, and that there was a valley between us and livingstonia. Very beautiful scenery, not to hot but very sunny the whole day. On our way back we to a swim in the waterfalls - and went all the way to the edge to see the highest waterfall in Malawi. Super.
Tired back at the camp it was time for dinner and for resting our feet. What a great day.
