so my time in Africa is running low (and i'm spending it online...hmmmm) and I can't believe it as gone so fast. I just got back from three weeks traveling in Malawi and Zambia. It was an amazing trip but I'm very glad to be done with bus travel for a long while. Zambia was just for a few days, me and my travel mates Luther (Australia) and Shannon (Canada) went to Livingstone to check out Victoria Falls, and they were everything and more that we had heard. Then I decided to check bungee jumping off my life list...and it was amazing. Jumped from a 111m bridge in the mist of the falls, and yes, I want to do it again!
Then on to Malawi where we chilled by the lake and I learned how to make a drum from sratch. I had to soak the goat skin, tighten it on the drum base, shave the hair off, and then I carved the drum. It took 4 days and is something I am super proud of now. Went to Vwaza National Park too, where the elephants passed witin 20 meters of our hut! I got some amazing photos and it was a truely surreal experience. Very different from the touristy Tanzania safari (which was also amazing though).
Now I'm back in Dar es Salaam and headed to Zanzibar in a day or so to finish off my time in Tanzania. Then I'm on a fligt back home July 1st, with mixed sadness and excitement. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my blog and email me along my trip. It has been a very life changing trip and I hope I can share my photos with everyone who wants to see them. California, I'm soon on my way!!!
