Christmas 2008; Lake Bunyonyi


Fellow VSOs & I packed up our jingle bells for a few days at Lake Bunyonyi - 'place of little birds'. The area is dotted with approx 20 islands & is surrounded by steep, terraced hills; the absence of crocs, hippos & bilharzia (nasty water snail bug) make it one of the few places in Uganda where you can take a dip... Christmas day was spent on a small island called Bushara, where we indulged in a turkey & goat buffet, washed down with Nile beer. This was followed by lots of tinsel-tastic singing & dancing with a group of little Ugandans who delighted in our home-made holly hats & then a boozy Secret Santa game. Oh, & it was really HOT & sunny!!
