After 55 hours of travelling the group have now landed at Glasgow.
After some time to reflect. More pictures and thought on the trip will be posted here.
The group has arrived in Amsterdam and are waiting for their last flight home.
If anyone was wondering Miss Brady was NOT reunited with her case and has had to come home without it!
The group has arrived in Johannesburg.
And so we say Pawene and Yewo Chomene to Malawi (Goodbye and thank you very much)
Next stop Johannesburg.
The goodbyes and the tears have started. Though a monkey stealing Lily's toast did bring some light relief.
Today Leo wrote about our day in Nkhata Bay. Tomorrow morning we head back to Mzuzu to say our goodbyes and collect the suitcases before we head to Lilongwe. Hopefully there Miss Brady will be reunited with her suitcase.
Alexander has written about Sunday.
Apparently "cousty" means really good.
The group arrived at Mayoka Village in Nkhata Bay this afternoon.
Lily has written about our last full day in Mzuzu. Tomorrow the group are off to Nkhata Bay after mass.
Video of our students dancing on stage at the Graduation ceremony. They were VERY well received!
Rebecca has written about Friday and the Form 4 Graduation.
Today is the Form 4 Graduation (Equivalent of S6). It is a whole day event and both the Scottish and Malawian students will be performing traditional songs and dances.
Diary entry from Leo for Thursday.
Lily has written about the party with the St Peters school board and staff.
Alexander has written about our walk in the afternoon to Kaningina.
Next up is Rebecca about our visit to the Bishop and Lunangua Primary.
Yesterday was a very packed day so all the pupils are going to write about a part of the day.
First up is Leo who every time has been introduced to someone, they have said like the Pope.
Today's diary entry is from Lily. Tomorrow it will be the turn of "Leo like the Pope"
Some pictures from today. The group visited St Peter's school and spent time with the pupils and staff. After lunch the group went to visit Mary Mount Girls secondary school where they met a former St Matthew's Bursary Student who is now a computing teacher at the school.
We always wondered how Alexander would fit on the plane and in the mini bus. The answer was just!!!
Thoughts on the journey to Mzuzu from Johannesburg by Alexander.

Good Morning from Johannesburg.
