Lilongwe is the capital of Malawi, and was one of the stopover points as we travelled through the country. It doesn't hold a whole heap of interest there. Mainly for me it was a chance to final check and send emails as I hadn't had a chance since Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania, plus my mobile had no service at all in Malawi, so email was proving to be my own way to let people know I was ok unless I wanted to go to a pay phone... Lilongwe become the country's new capital in 1975 and the best part to visit is the Old town & its markets.
