Everything I wanted

I greatly enjoyed my time at the Residence for many reasons. Chawa picked me up from the airport. The fee to get into town was less than half the posted charge for taxis. Breakfast each day was both enormous and tasty. Dinner was likewise excellent. The bed was comfortable, which gave me long, deep sleeping. Chawa arranged tours of the town, and also to see the Chongoni Rock Art (a UNESCO site I wanted to visit). He could also arrange a trip to Lake Malawi and the beach. I feel certain they would make arrangements for whatever day trip you want. The location is not in the busy city center, rather, in the outskirts of town. That made the area peaceful and quiet (something I appreciate...no honking traffic to keep me awake). I already know where I plan to stay on my next trip to Lilongwe.
