More Confessions...Chapter 21. A to B (Part 2)

The second installment of my journey from Zimbabwe to Malawi picks up right where the previous one left off...me and a pile of hookers and dodgy pimps. Welcome to Lilongwe!

The rest of the adventure to Nkhata Bay was just that...an adventure. One of the beauties of African travel is that you never know what might happen along the way from A to B.

More Confessions...Chapter 21. A to B (Part 1)

The worst part of traveling is the actual travel...getting from one place to the next. However, when you use "African transportation" to get from A to B, a whole variety of unbelievable and unpredictable experiences makes the voyage anything but 'the worst part'.

Okay...there might be a few rough and uncomfortable times but, overall, the journey unforgettable part of the trip.

My adventure from Zimbabwe to Malawi was just that...an adventure. So much so that this tale had to be divided into two parts. I hope that you enjoy the madness of Part 1.

More Confessions...Chapter 20. TRUST

This is one of my favorite stories. "Trust" is a tale about an eye-opening encounter that I had while traveling through Zimbabwe.

The experience taught me that there are good people to be found all over the world, even in places and situations where you might not expect to find much goodness and honesty.

Don't let the insanity and actions of Zimbabwe's dictator, Robert Mugabe, be any indicator of the true character of this country's people.

More Confessions...Chapter 19. BLAME CANADA

With a two-month break from my pub duties in Chintsa, I had loads of time to go explore Southern Africa.

My plan was to travel to Malawi.

However, making Canadian political history in the most unlikeliest of ways, was NOT in my scenario.

Oh well, this was Africa...anything could happen.

More Confessions...Chapter 18. SHIT HAPPENS

Some say, "seeing is believing". I'm here to tell you that just seeing something with your own eyes doesn't always explain the unfolding madness.

I wasn't sure if I had I lost the plot or if my 'experimental days' were finally catching up with my perception of reality.

Common sense and basic logic said that what I was witnessing had to be a figment of my imagination...

Incredibly though, it wasn't.
