I'm on my break. Finally, it's in the southwest corner of Uganda, a region known as Kigezi. I wasn't really in need of a break, but it sure does some good. This area seems rich next to our region of Congo. The people don't have anything, but there's a stable governmentm and no looting.
Right nowm I'm on a huge lake, Lake Bunyonyi, with 29 islands. I leave on foot to town, Kabale, in a few minutes (about 2 hours) for some purchases for myself, coworkers in Kayna, and MSF too. After a night in town, I leave for a national game park, Bwindi, for a day and a half. They have gorilla tracking, but that's too expensive. I will be going on a foot trip through the park with a guide. Then back down to a border town where we meet up with the MSF contact, getting back to Kayna Saturday afternoon.
The whole trip should cost about $250, with my purchases costing more than that. Fortunatelym most of them will be reimbursed.
