Blantyre is a very low density city. Here is a picture of a street scape, with one of the nice hills in the background. These pictures are taken from a moving car, and don't do justice to the vibrant colors.
A more urban part of town.
What is striking here is how clean the city is, and how good the roads are, especially considering the political past of this country. You might also notice that the cars are recent models, which is very unlike the western African countries that I have recently been to.
A reservoir in the middle of the city. Despite the lack of urban development immediately behind the reservoir, we are inside the city limits.
Mini buses are a popular transport method, but they can't park here. Notice the corn the background (we're smack in the middle of town).
The view from the hotel on a rainy day.
More inner-city cornfields.
A chicken joint with a hopeful name. The red buckets on the left hand side are for hand washing before and after eating the fried chicken (with your hands, of course).
