My East African adventure starts in Uganda. I arrived here late Sunday night after a bit of trouble with pre booked transport not arriving and a pre booked hotel room that was not on the list.
Anyway, I got to the hotel and they gave me a room. I even got a few hours sleep before it was time to take of for the real adventure.
We left Kampala in the morning to head for Lake Bunyonyi. It was a long drive, but we did some short stops. First stop was the equator. It was kind of cool to walk on the equator for the second time this year, in two different continents.
We arrived to our camp at Lake Bunyonyi and it was dark. Putting up the tent for the first time and it's dark was a new experience.
After a night much colder then expected and the first night strapped in a sleeping bag I opened the tent and that view that met me... it made me forget everything about a bad night. It was stunning. The lake just on my doorstep surrounded with green rolling hills.
Today we took a boat trip on the lake to visit a village where the pygmies lives. A lovely trip on he water, a not as pleasant climb on steep narrow paths took us all the way up to their village.
They danced and sang, sold us there craft work and showed their houses and school before we started our climb back down. It wasn't too bad going down. That being said I was the only one slipping and sitting on the bum.
After lunch being served as we got a free afternoon. It was great. Also time to prepare for tomorrow's trekking.
