I finally made it up the Zomba Plateau. A small group of fellow PCVs and I agreed to meet and climb up. Two of us were going up on Friday, then the other three would meet us up there Saturday.

| Rain, rain, rain |
I wasn't fully recovered from my illness, and the rain was being cruel, so we decided to spend Friday night at a nice little bed and breakfast called Casa Rossa located near the start of the hike. They had a cheese platter on the menu! It was delightful and quaint.

The next morning, we set off only to have the car with the other three pick us up. Minimal hiking necessary.
At the top, we enjoy cappuccinos at the Sunbird hotel. Due to the rainy weather, we were literally in the clouds. Once we got to the Trout Farm and checked into a cabin, we didn't really find the need to go outside again. We just stayed in, played games, chatted, chilled, and had some beers. Originally, I wanted to hike around and see the plateau, but it turned out perfect.

The next day, the weather cleared up and we hiked part of the way down (after another round cappuccinos at the Sunbird). We got to see the dam and get a great view of Mt Mulanje. One car then picked up two of our group and another car came alone a little later and picked up the rest of us, taking us to the base of the mountain.
