Mulanje magic

It will probably be just a short description of my absolutely top moments here until now! Pri and I went to Mulanje Massif for 3 days and after that I have it so often in my head. It was so beautiful. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. We climbed 1500 meters on the first day, later on it appeared that our guide took us up from the most difficult path and difficult it was. Very steep and rocky, but so amazingly beautiful that it haunts me. I willgo back for Christmas for 10 days to stay in one of the mountain huts, enjoy fire in fireplace, cooler climate and talks and walks with Pri. Away from work, away from college campus, away from towns, markets, to enjoy the peace and beauty of this mountain. If the weather allowes, I'd like to go to the top as well, 3002m, but it depends on rainfalls. If it is too heavy, it gets too slippery.
It was amazing how different is every single side of the massif. We passed tea plantations, grasslands, rocky plateus, forests, waterfalls etc. There is everything. It was like being in the movie Lion King. We named one piece land of Scar, one land of Hyenas and one Land of Simba and we were singing songs from that movie, passing all these places. And we had to face the fact that during that trip we were on the very bottom of the food-chain...as we stayed one extra day that we didn't calculate in and our last breakfast consisted of a tin of tuna for both and a glass of milk. Very nutritious. By evening we could only see food everywhere.
But we got back nicely and we are looking very much forward to go up for 10 days during Christmas.
