Likhubula and goodbyes

chilling out with the CCAP minister post interrogation

We woke up with sad hearts knowing that this would be our last day at Nakoma.  The PEA had agreed to come at 9 am to take us up the mountains to see the tree plantations before Matthew came to get us.  In the morning both Mary and I insisted that we help Hannah out with the chores so we each donned a mop and got stuck in.

Before the PEA arrived, we had an opportunity to meet the local CCAP minister.  Boy, he liked to talk and ask questions.  After an hour and a half of grilling about the Church of Scotland, both Mary and I were losing the will to live!!  Eventually we hinted that we wouldn't have enough time to get to Mulanje if we didn't get going and we may have to start adopting Scotland time again!!

It was a long drive up to Mulanje and Likhubula.  It was a real dream come true to visit Likhubula as Dunblane Cathedral has had a link with them for a while. I never thought I would get to go there!  We enjoyed seeing the tea plantations and the lush green foliage of the mountain.

With our Malawian family! 

On return to Nakoma, it was time to say our sad farewells. We took some lovely photos, including with the Village chief who was lovely and very kind.  It won't be our last visit and we will be back!!
