Time off

Malcolm is half way through his 3 months at Kisiizi Hospital, so time for a bit of a break. It also coincides with a visit from our friend, Dr Corrie, from Kiwoko Hospital.

They had a long weekend away on an island in Lake Bunyoni. When they booked the log cabins they thought the island was called ‘Natures Prime Island' – very relaxing. When they arrived they discovered the place had been rebranded ‘Supreme Adventure Camp’!! complete with a treetop assault course and zip wire across the lake.

 

In order not to show up the younger visitors they decided to avoid the course and the zip wire and to remain focused on relaxing.

 

As the lake is at a high altitude it was a bit chilly at night. Fortunately the restaurant included a log fire which was a welcome sight.

 

 

 They didn’t spend all the time doing nothing. On Saturday they got up early to go ‘birding’ around the lake, and to see what the locals were doing.

 

One of the small islands, Punishment island, was used to abandon unmarried pregnant women. There they would die, or be saved to become the wives of poor fishermen who couldn't afford the 'bride-price' normally required to get a bride.
