I’m so tired. I think I
overpacked.
The journey here to this island in Lake Bunyonyi was rough, but the relaxing atmosphere made it worth it. So far this there’s not a lot of biting mosquitos, and I haven’t had the need for insect repellant.
Travelling in Africa is challenging. Buses are uncomfortable, and transport between towns can be limited. The best option to get to your destination is by special hire taxi, but that option is expensive when your traveling alone. Fortunately I am traveling with a group of pleasant people.

It’s getting harder to carry my
bags during transit between towns. I need to make a trip to REI to invest in
better traveling gear.
We left Kampala on the 1 am
Jaguar Coach, which was one of the worst bus rides of my life. The driver
opened his window which made the entire bus freezing cold. The music on the bus
loud. There were 3 passengers seated in my row, with me sandwiched in the
middle. The man sitting to my left
looked agitated because 2 Mzungos were sitting to his left. He rested his elbow
annoyingly into my ribs. Nevertheless I was satisfied that the bus got us to
Kabale on time at about 7am. From Kabale
my group of 4 hired a taxi to take us to the port so that we can catch a
motorboat to the island where we booked our accomodations. The journey here to this island in Lake Bunyonyi was rough, but the relaxing atmosphere made it worth it. So far this there’s not a lot of biting mosquitos, and I haven’t had the need for insect repellant.
