My day off last Sunday was spent with three other girls here
at Senga Bay, Lake Malawi. It’s a huge freshwater lake that takes up like half
of this country. It was about a two hour drive from the Lilongwe. We spent the
day lounging on the beach, swimming a bit, and getting spectacularly sunburned.
It was a nice little vacation, with some spectacular clouds. I've been just trying to take advantage of this semi-cushy life in civilization before I head to the bush soon.
Interestingly, the lake is swimming, no pun intended, with a
parasite that can easily just absorb through your skin. So about three months
after swimming in the lake, everyone is advised to take a special
anti-parasitic drug.
On the way back home, we got a call about a sick duiker from
a nearby park, and picked him up. Sadly he was in rough conditions and died upon
return to the centre. Even on days off, we rescue animals!
