St. Peter's Seminary...again

We were lured back to St. Peter's with the thought of a warm shower again. After our goodbyes, and a side trip to Blantyre to visit some of Matthew's relatives, we headed up to Zomba.  Terrible road, full of potholes and despite saying I would never drive in the night, ended up pulling into the seminary in the dark.  Mary and Matthew had showers in their respective rooms first and then it was my turn.  Arghhhh!  They had used up most of the hot water!!  They didn't hear the end of that one!  I got enough to clean myself to a decent standard (having not had a shower since Saturday night and this was Wednesday night....new definitions of hygiene!) and then proceeded to lounge to watch....Andy Murray!!  My consolation for the warmish shower was Andy going through!!
Breakfast was three pieces of toast, yummy.  We headed over to the market to pick up our little trinkets for the kids but alas, as explained, the chap didn't do the work for us.  We did find them elsewhere so that was fine.
Then it was the drive up to Liwonde. We had lunch at the Hippo View Lodge and already I was starting to get excited. There were signs warning of crocodiles and you could hear the hippos!!  It was brilliant and then it was time for the safari... a dream come true!
