So Where Is Blantyre Then?

Blantyre is a city of around 750,000 people in the southern region of Malawi.  It is Malawi's largest city, and the major financial & commercial centre, with the political capital being in Lilongwe, some 370 kms to the north.  Here's a map, here's the Blantyre page on Wikipedia, and here's the Malawi page.

The Great Rift Valley runs through the country from north to south, and to the east of the valley lies Lake Malawi (also called Lake Nyasa), making up over three-quarters of Malawi's eastern boundary. Lake Malawi is sometimes called the Calendar Lake as it is about 365 miles (587 km) long and 52 miles (84 km) wide.
