It's been awhile since our last entry as we were without a camera for a good few months. Unfortunately we were unable to get pictures of our amazing time swimming with whale sharks in Mozambique as well as many other wonderful experiences. We spent 5 months living and working in Cape Town where we had a great time making friends and breaking hearts. With only a month left in Africa we dediced to spend it in Malawi with our African family.

On April 10th 1994 about 10,000 people were killed in and around the area of the Catholic Church. People from all around congregated in the church and locked the iron door with a padlock to protect themselves from the marauding killers.

Unfortunately, we took a night bus from Rwanda through Tanzania that was atttacked by Bandits. We were very scared but very lucky. That said take our advice "NEVER TAKE A NIGHT BUS IN EAST AFRICA!!!"
