I took us
quite a while to pass the border to Malawi. After we got in Malawi, we spend
all of our money for petrol (really expensive over here) and lunch. There was
no ATM in the border town so we just left with no money and no water to reach
our day goal, Senga Bay at the Lake Malawi… HOW STUPID! After a while Stella
sounded not good anymore and the engine was not as powerful as it used to be.
So we stopped at the road to check the engine. Quickly there was a crowd of
people who were curious about the car and the white people that stopped at
their village. In the end it got really hard to circle the car, because the
children came so close. I kept them busy by taking pictures of them and showing
the photos to them on the camera display.
After a while a mechanic joined the crowed and
we figured out that one of the spark plugs was broken. We did not have the
right equipment to put in the spark plugs, but the mechanic offered to tow us
to the next town to his garage. We tied together our towing rope and a strange
rubber rope from the mechanic to keep some more distance. The rubber rope made
it difficult to tow but we finally made it to Salima.
There, the
mechanic changed the spark plugs and we arrived at the campsite really late
after this exhausting day.
