Buhoma to Kabale

I had trekked in Bwindi and seen mountain gorillas. Now I had to get back to Kabale. Transport was difficult. Adrone, from my lodge said a pickup was coming. It arrived at 6pm as the first rain fell in 3 days. We drove to Butogota where I would get transport to Kabale. The pickups to Kabale left at the ridiculous time of 4am. I got a room at the Pineapple lodge and went out for food. Aston, one of the guys who brought me in the pickup said he would come get me at 3.30am and we would leave at 4. I went to bed early. I heard noise around 3am, Aston was early. He said they were ready to go. I packed my things and got into my reserved front seat of the pickup. It was dark and cold but many pickups were on their way to Kabale. We didn't stop as much as we did on the way to Buhoma and it took just over 4 hours to get back. I brought a few chapatis on the street before going back to Flockline hotel. I took a non self contained room for $5 and went to sleep. I got up and had lunch. I went back to Edirisa. It was like seeing old friends there. There were still volunteers around that I knew. I hungout there for the day. I went back to my hotel just to bring in my freshly washed clothes and then went back to Edirisa. It was a festive mood because it was the last night of one of the longterm volunteers. There was even delicious chocolate cake and lots of Waragi, the local booze. It was a very fun night. Everyone was interested and impressed with my gorilla stories and even more so that I was able to get the permit at a discounted price!
The next day started out gloomy and while I was taking care of some errands it began to rain. My plan to go to lake Bunyoni would be delayed. It was only 8km from Kabale but involved a boda boda ride and then an exposed canoe trip to the island I would be staying on. I hoped the rain would stop soon.
