Zomba Plateau

We took a spectacular drive up to the Zomba plateau and were rewarded with brilliant views down into the valley. While at the top we had a bottle of Fanta (double the price) at the Sunbird Ku Chawe Hotel, a very up market hotel in Malawi.  Again, the contrast between this hotel and rural villages is just so stark.  Outside the hotel we bought some more wood carvings (wood, wood, we LOVE wood!) before heading back down again.

At the top of the plateau is a forest reserve and also a water reservoir.  There were loads of people along the road selling beautiful strawberries and fruit as well as those carrying wood down for sale in Zomba.  On the drive up we even saw some baboons along the road side.
