Its been a little while since my
last post as ive been on a bit of a holiday! On Thursday we killed the pig and
had it for dinner, watcjhing it was super interesting, like a bio lesson,
africa style. We didn’t eat anywhere near all of it, I think we managed about
the ¼ of it and the staff will get to eat the rest. On friday night we went to sky
blue for dinner as it was some people last night, and then we went to sals. Before
we set off most people were up for sals, but by the time we got there there
were only 3 of us brave enough! I cant belive how nervy some poeople are about
it, they all think its really rapey or something but its not, the men will try
it on and have a grind or whatever, but if you are like ‘seriously, no.’ then
they will leave you alone. A bit like being in england really!
On Saturday morning we set off for
lake bunyoni, getting a matatu taxi bus to kabale and then a private taxi to
the lake. The geusthouse we were staying on was on an island, so they took us
there in a dug out canoe, which was cool but very long and tiring! When wee got
there the place was really nice, though we chose the most basic accomodation
which was basically a big dorm, it was still comfortable. When we arrived we
put all of our stuff in a locker and locked it with a cheap lock that Christie
had brought, but when we came back to get our stuff later the lock was broken
and wouldn’t open, so we had tp get a guy alomng to come and cut it off, it
took him all of about 30 seconds with a hand saw. After that we just left our
stuff under our beds and it was fine. It was kindof cold when we arrived but we
were looking forwards to a swim in the morning. We sat in the bar just chilling
and reading which was so nice, and we had amazing food. We went to bed quite
early because there was no electricity and so we couldn’t really see after it
got dark. Apparently I was screaming in the night, having slept silently the
whole time ive been here I started mouthing off when in a room with a load of
random germans!
The next mornming it was raining
and cold again which was a bit rubbish so we didn’t swim, but just spent more
time chilling out and eating nice food! The whole weekend cost me under 20
quid, including food and accomodation!
When we got back lat night the
lodge was absolutely dead, everybody is away on safari and in kampala etc, so
we were just chilling a bit more! The safari-ers are back tonight so it should
be a bit more lively.
At school today the kids are all
doing mid-terms, so we couldn’t do much with them, only supervise the exams. We
ended up going back top the lodge to make posters and resources.
I came to town today to try and
get cash but the ATM isnt working today so im probably going to have to come in
tomorrow, which is super annoying.
Anita, the girl with malaria was
finally back in school today, and she seemed much brighter, so I can finally
stiop worrying about her!
