We spent the past weekend on Likoma Island. It is actually an Island owned by Malawi, but is only 6 kilometers off the shore off Mozambique. We boated across and stayed one night on the Island. It was very beautiful and relaxing, and we had a nice time with friends.
We went with some friends of ours, Jan and Bonnie and their son, Joseph. They also have a daughter, Deborah. Jan is from the Netherlands and Bonnie is from the States.
Keith and Bronwyn. They are from South Africa, and have a daughter, Zoe.
This is Hugo and Esti and their son, Samuel. They are from South Africa as well.
This is where we stayed on the Island. It was beautiful from the outside, but the inside wasn't so great.
This is a view from the chalets.
After a rather large scorpion ran across my foot in the shower, we found this guy under the bed Karis was sleeping in. It is a centipede that has a nasty bite!
This is called a water scorpion, but is relatively harmless, but very scarey looking. We found him in our closet.
Relaxing on the beach!
We boated around the entire Island. It is about 18 square kilometers. The Island is pretty much empty, except for a few lodges and villages. This was one lodge that was beautiful.
Another Chalet.
This was the very tip of the Island, just a big bunch of rocks. It was interesting how diverse the landscape was for such a small Island.
We stopped to get some fuel for the boat and we were instantly surrounded (an unexpected stop at the zoo).
This little girl watched us the whole time, but wouldn't come near us.
