Our first REAL rest day
Paradise is one word to describe our rest day here in Chitimba Beach and most of the riders commented that it was their first full, proper rest day... I mean how could you not just hang out with the lake shore just a few metres from your tent? The fact that the campsite is a few kilometres from the nearest town meant that riders could spend their day reading, sleeping, having endless swims, eating, buying souvenirs and relaxing as much as they could. Everyone needed a good rest after we enjoyed a fantastic Mustache March party last night with Marcus taking out the competition that became more of a 'dress up' parade than just a mustache competition. The prize... a red box full of goodies donated by the riders and staff.
The laundry services offered were so cheap and so efficient that many of the riders just handed over their laundry yesterday and received it back sparkling today. The lake is huge and beautiful that most spent the day making the trek back and forth for swims with the exception of the 'poker playing crew' who spent the day at a table in the bar playing some seriously good games. Tomorrow when we depart for our next major destination, Lilongwe, there are sure to be riders that will have to be carried kicking and screaming to get them to leave Chitimba Beach. I think a request will go in to have every campsite by the water from now on... it is a well rested and refreshed crew enjoying dinner tonight.
