Day One – Malawi 2019

Hey fam and friends, Mollie and Rebecca here!! I’m sure you’re all pleased to know we made it after 2 flights (with food that did not please all), a stop over and an extremely long wait in Malawi airport waiting for visas. The team are becoming much closer as the minutes pass and all appear much happier after a good filling meal at Mabuya camp. Our tents are up and sleeping bags are ready – even the ants are moving in! Tonight we sat and played multiple games of rummy and for those who know the game dobble. I’m sure you can imagine how competitive it got with 11 over tired and very excited people! We are all hoping for a good night sleep in our tents ready to be up at 6am for a 9 hour bus journey to butterfly space with Alice, Hannah and her 2 beautiful little girls. Hope all our family and friends are well and we hope you enjoy the pictures (these will come when we get better WiFi! ? We would really enjoy lots of happy messages to keep the teams spirits high ready for our week of crazyness and excitement to fully begin! 

Lots of love to everyone, 

Mollie, Rebecca and the Malawi 2019 team xxx
