Anthill lodge


Place: Nkhata Bay


Tunes: Nine Inch Nails, Kotiteollisuus


Wake up the usual time. Good breakfast for a change and a short ride to Nkhata Bay. The roads were paved all the way even if we expected much worse. Peter found this Lodge for us and it is most excellent. I suspect this is the best place in town and it is very scenic with bungalows built all around on this hill on the beach. Everything is very chilled out.


There is a big Carlsberg fridge full of beer and some local hooch available, so we’ll be ok here. Let’s try this chilling out business. There are some ”business people” at the lodge also selling you all sorts of things and of course rastas selling weed. And police waiting for a tip off from the rastas so that they can arrest you and ask for a big bribe.

I think this is some hippie outpost that superficially looks like paradise but is in reality completely overrun by ants. Seriously, anything in contact with the ground is covered in these little ants in seconds. They are harmless, but I don’t want any strange fucking ants touching my shit! I’ll poison them!

Those of you who did not get the joke, here is a hint:

Our Honda rider Teijo has so far been the only one who has not dropped the bike. Today he did slip on some rocks on the beach, so does that count?

Apparently we will have a day off tomorrow as the place is so nice, but we do have some 4000 and something km to cross and the deadline 21.11 is approaching. Later we decided that chilling out is for tourists and that we will press on tomorrow to Lilongwe.
