Bunda Mountain (March 28, 2009)

Another mountain that we hiked fairly recently.











This little guy was our body guard on the way up the mountain. Looks pretty serious doesn't he!



This is his brother. They were actually our "guides" up the mountain. At one point the older brother started singing, (he was singing for the entire trip) "I'm really thirsty, I'd really like some water, it'd be great if I had some water." After cluing in I offered him some water and he drank about a litre!












Malawians also like to climb these mountains as well, but for very different reasons. You can see the two unbrellas that are shading someone from the heat.




Malawians climb the mountains (shouldn't say all Malawians, but most) to be closer to god and to pray. There were about 30 people at the top of this mountain singing gospel and having a great time. They are really amazing singers - I guess they get a lot of practice!
