Our Final Full Day At Kaya Mawa, Likoma Island, Malawi, 13 October 2013

If you prefer to read the typed up journals illustrated with pictures, these are going up during November & December 2020

Rose early – Martin brought his coffee at 6:15 and said goodbye to us.

Daisy watershed at seven under the very patient tutelage of Josh. She tried many many times (I didn’t count but guess 15 times) the antepenultimate go nearly worked, the penultimate one was yet another epic fail but the last go, albeit just a few seconds much of the pleasure of the English (Cornish) couple I was chatting with by that time…and it transpired most of the other Kaya Mawa guests who was spectating from the comfort of their rooms. Daisy reckons she’s got the idea of waterskiing out of her system now.

Back to the room for shower and then down to breakfast. After breakfast we read a while, observing that the water remain calm and the day quite cloudy – so we went down to snorkel c11:15 and snorkelled from the other beach to the main beach via the small island the latter of which seem to be the best source of diverse fish colours and species.

Time to make tea and read some more before lunch.

Then lunch comprising a butternut squash and was with soda bread and seed bun (of which we ate little) followed by a very tasty chicken salad with honey coconut pesto thing.

Michelle presented Daisy with her headbands, which pleased her a lot, plus some small gift bags.

Plenty of time for more reading and enjoying the hazy afternoon on our decks before a sundowner and get ready for the evening.

Then down for an early evening drink – Michelle and Richard join us for quite a while.

Then dinner of poached pear, parmesan & bacon. Then a chicken curry kebab style (I’m sure Richard had promised fish) followed by the bread-and-butter pudding slightly different style but especially good with coconut ice cream. We drank the delightful Chardonnay/ Pinot Noir blend we have enjoyed a few times.

Early night.

Our guard frog was too upset that we are leaving even to come and see us that night.
