After a 27-hour journey, we've finally arrived in Lilongwe. The connection time between flights at Amsterdam was a bit too close for comfort. We had to sprint for ten minutes to get from one end of Schiphol airport to the other but we made the flight, albeit a bit red in the face!
Nelson from NASFAM collected us at the airport and took us to our hotel, the Kiboko Town Hotel, to get freshened up. It's a lovely hotel - nice and clean and very central. After a quick shower, it was time to head over to NASFAM to meet some of the team, including Richard and Tukipina. Richard gave us a presentation about NASFAM which gave us loads of information about the organisation.
We've just had dinner in Don Brioni's - the lovely restaurant just below our hotel. The jet lag is seriously kicking in now so we're going to have an early night - our first night under the mosquito nets!! We're heading out to the Mchinji district tomorrow to meet some of the farmers as well as some of the staff from MASFA. Check in tomorrow to hear how we get on.
