Day 43/44/45 - Cape Mclear surroundings. [0km , 100% babelas]
Up until now we were very good and did not really indulge,but man these hangovers were getting hectic! We started the day with an oily breakfast ,arranged 2 catfish to braai that night and took some snorkel gear to the point - Cape Mclear must be the best place to go diving in Lake Malawi. The water is like a bath tub and the visibility probably 30 meter + with all the fish giving you the impression that you are swimming in a tank[thats what it felt like to me,because I used to have a Malawi fishtank]. The rest of the day we spent swimming and drinking some more making friends with all the holiday comers.Us and the Zambians prepared an awesome fish braai that night for the group of 12 who really enjoyed it. The next day we were fresh for a change-we booked a boat scuba dive for 2pm and spent the morning finally changing the rear tyres [those Michellin Deserts have done 9000km+ and still has some tread on,but carrying and extra tyre became a las] and giving the bikes a service. The dive cost $40 and was worth every cent-lots of fish[even a Dolfinfish] and Roadkill even found a crocodile tooth-proof that they are around.After the dive we got ready for the New Years Party at Gecko which turned out to be epic-loads of people,pumping tunes,fires on the beach and a fireworks display over the lake.The next day's hangover was no surprise-we were meant to leave on 1st Jan,but due to an exploding headache and Roadkills b-day being the next day,we decided to just relax [like we have not been doing much of that] for the day and rest. It is still hot everyday and so nice to be able to just dive into the lake when you feel like it. We would take it easy and be fresh the next day-it was time to get onto the bikes again and continue this trip.
