So I arrived to Nkhata Bay. I drove slowly down the mountain in this little town and the police stopped me. Many police are on the road and it's more routine. But in Nairobi said a German to me, you need a insurance, then this will be check to 100 %. And not trick is so good, that you don't need it. A drive without insurance cost $ 200. To much for me, but I had my insurance.

Now I must stopped. The police waited about many hours, nobody came and the enjoy is great, when they see a car. But this wasn't routine. They had a big fish on the robe with me. No seat bells - 500 Kw. And then drove this stupid German without car number through Malawi - 1000 Kw. I was checked of a police girl and apparent the feminine police in Malawi is the same as in Germany - pitiless. I hadn't good chances to get a better situation.

Then I should pay , somewhere in the city. I said I don't a bill and I would like just pay. I would get the finish, gave her the 1500 Kw and said - very expensive for me. And now, which wonder, the girl of police will be a normal and nice girl. She looked me in the eyes, crossed out the seat bells on your paper and gave me back 500 Kw. I didn't protest and took the discount with a thanks.

So I came to the Njaya Lodge. Saw there, I had lost my left indicator. The tour show your prints and I hope, the jeep lose not more things and can drive again.

The bamboo hut upper was me for the next 3 days. And when I stay in the land of mango eater - the hut stood under a mango tree. The kids came everyday and got mangos for yourself. This is Africa, when I said, the poeple need nothing here as the bush. They go in it and have enough to eat. A paradise.

I was done nothing. A brake or holyday of the holyday. I stood there at the February 19th and I enjoyed the idyllic place on the lake. Clear water with nice temperature for me.

when I left the Nkhata Bay, I met my police girl again. The first she heard a car and the arm go in the high, without to see, who come now. And then she saw me. A friendly greeting and I showed my new car number. She said O.K.. And the seat war belt.
