After the recent project trip in Kabale, we took a full day (two nights stay) at Byoona Amagara, an island among many on the lake. At around $10 a night it was amazing, and 100% of their proceeds and more go toward the islanders, so it was great to have such a beautiful spot that also invests directly in the locals.
The above photo is the view from the toilet. It was a pit latrine with a seat on it but the door wouldn't stay closed, so this is the view I had to put up with while performing my digestive duties.
This is the dining area. They served really delicious food, the most expensive of which was around 6500/= or $4. (crayfish masala.)
These photos above and below are of children going to school. In the above photo, a girl rowing to school in a dugout canoe. In the below shots, larger dugouts taking multiple children to school. The large dugouts were really impressive as a single piece of timber from very large trees.
It was a relaxing day. Marianne joined our trip toward the end of the project and stayed for the time at Lake Bunyoni so we were able to spend some time together. It would have been nice to be longer though, as the preceeding weeks were quite draining with the high workload, so I'm still quite weary from that and needing some refreshment time.
