The past few chapters have been a tad hectic...interesting, but hectic. This one, however, touches on a lighter side of my travels.
I've always been an athletic guy and have relished every opportunity on my travels to try a new sport or to push the adrenaline button. Having said that, I never learned to surf. Despite living on the Ocean and having many friends who were surfers, I spent next to no time on a board. The reason why I avoided the teaming-with-life Indian Ocean and the joys of surfing might not be what you expect.
Chapter 24. HOLD THAT THOUGHT BABY...HOW BIG?!
I thought the bus accident was bad...getting stranded with dead bodies while all of your worldly possessions driving off into the night is even worse...Could my journey from Malawi to South Africa become any more disastrous?
I hoped not... Chapter 23. B to C (Part 2)
If you thought that my journey to Malawi was an adventure, then the voyage back to South Africa will truly blow your mind. The hurdles and challenges that I faced during this torturous, unfathomable and tragic journey were, without question, the most difficult that I had come across on my travels.
However, the struggles and predicaments also provided me with a taste of the power of positive thinking and how this simple mindset can help overcome even the most improbable circumstances.
Chapter 23. B to C (Part 1)
The harder it is to reach a destination, the more rewarding that destination ultimately becomes...
My journey to a tiny, remote Malawian village certainly provided many unique and challenging hurdles to overcome, slaughter and, in some cases, wash off...
Despite the copious amounts of "space chicken", the adventure was an experience that will never be forgotten.
Chapter 22. FINDING MALAWI
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.
Chapter 21. A to B (Part 2)
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.
Chapter 21. A to B (Part 1)
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.
Chapter 20. TRUST
