Where in the World is Diana? MALAWI

This post was written in July, and has been automatically set to post in advance. I'm currently on a term break, and am travelling through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.

 

Okay, so again, while I didn't plan my travel dates exactly beforehand, I should be in Malawi sometime around... now. For those of you who aren't quite sure where Malawi is, here is Wikipedia's ever-lovely map:

 

 

Yup - that tiny little speck there? That's it. Here, have a larger picture:

 

 

I'm planning on entering the country somewhere around where it says Nyika National Park, and then just heading all the way south. I'll be stopping at a friend's house in Lilongwe, and afterwards heading out to Mozambique around Blantyre. And there will definitely be a stop along the lake somewhere in there!

 

After Malawi, it's off to Mozambique!

Where in the World is Diana? ZAMBIA

Okay, so here are the options: right now, I'm either almost in Zambia, in Zambia, or just left Zambia. Regardless, here's an idea of where Zambia is in the world, thanks to Wikipedia:

 

 

I'm not sure exactly where I'll be going in Zambia, but I'm thinking that I'm going to headed from Victoria Falls and Livingstone to somewhere around Kasama.

 

 

Next up? Malawi!

Where in the World is Diana? ZIMBABWE

This post was written in July, and has been automatically set to post in advance. I'm currently on a term break, and am travelling through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.

 

Right about now, I should be in Zimbabwe, which is stuck in there right above South Africa. Here, have Wikipedia's map:

The two major cities are Bulawayo and Harare. I'm staying with a friend for a few days in Bulawayo, and avoiding Harare like the plague, just because it's a big city after a bad election. After that, I'm thinking I might head off to Victoria Falls, which is at that weird point in the northwest, just at the end of the lake.

After this, off to Zambia!

Term Break, Whoot-Whoot!

In less than a week, I'll be heading off for another month of adventures away from school! In May, I was in South Africa, working on a farm there, but this break, I'm going to be travelling through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique. I have a vague idea of where I'm going, but I'm trying to not plan too much in advance. That's hard, just because I'm excited, and can't help but want to think about my trip.

But, no. No planning. Well, some. Not a lot.

But, for reference, since it's a month long break, and I'll be travelling through four countries (well, six, technically, but I'm not counting Swaziland, and I'll be in South Africa for less than twenty-four hours), it's about a week per country. So, I've got this magical internet thing all set up to post a little bit about the country I'm travelling through around the time that I'll be there, so you can have a little bit of an idea where I am. Then, when I get back, I'll post about my adventures along the roads.

For everyone back in the States, enjoy going back to school - I'm going to enjoy running around Africa for a month :)
