African Birthday number 2

On October 2 1999 Nic and I were somewhere on the shores of Lake Malawi slowly making our way back from Zanzibar.

Twelve years later: less hair, more stomach, two kids in the backseat, and on our way to the Sudwala Caves (and dinosaur park). OK the Dino park was optional but the kids are able to identify most of the 'saurs by name AND the massive plants growing in this lush little valley actually look like they belong in the Paleozoic period, giving the dinosaurs an added effect.

The Sudwala caves are big and we ended up walking about 600 meters into them. The Xhosa used to use these caves to hide during times of war, using fresh water from deep within to survive.

I spent a quiet evening flyfishing in the sunset. No bites. Whatever, I couldn't hope for better place to be standing.
