As Hanna is travelling back to UK for 7 weeks today, we "escaped" for a weekend away at Bushara Island, a lovely spot on Lake Bunyonyi [= the lake of little birds]. It was very peaceful and good to have some breathing space after a frenetic few months.
Mark and Ruth had given me a telescope for Christmas and it was put to good use enjoying the magnificent birds and scenery. Unfortunately the sky wasn't clear enough for any good star gazing this time and the backdrop of the volcanoes which are sometimes seen was stubbornly covered in cloud so we'll just have to go back another time.
We travelled on from Kabale up to Mbarara and had a lovely stay with Esther Kobusingye, previously Sister in Charge at Kisiizi. It was good to spend some time with her and catch up with each other. Hanna stayed a further night there and then went on to Kampala and Entebbe yesterday whilst I drove back the 80 miles to Kisiizi, the last 18 miles being on murram gravel road.
We are so grateful for the beauty of this region of Uganda and the chance to enjoy this short break... now back to the mix of admin and clinical work that makes each day different....
