of islands, small jungles and wine bottles
Yesterday.
A few friends and I went over to some place we call our island, somewhere along the shores of Lake Victoria, a few kilometers off Ggaba beach. We had a great time, did a mini picnic, as only us guys can, since it involved opening a wine bottle with a key!
We then called up our boat dude to pick us up, and on a whim, decided to explore the next island we could see. We ended up in some small jungle like place, trekked for a while, fending off some vicious mosquitoes, saw only one snake, plus very briefly explored a place that looked suspiciously like massive snake territory.
We then got back to the rocky “shore” and just let our feet dangle in the water while skipping stones across the lake.
There’s nothing soothing like watching water waves break, birds skimming over the lake surface, fishermen in their slow canoes paddling away and a serene sunset over the tranquil water.
Pure bliss.
My camera craving is getting a little too serious. We took tonnes of photos though. Will post those later.
After that, I headed for a cousin’s birthday party and had a great time with family till late.
Perfect start to the new year.
How was your weekend?

photo madness from the island on January 6th, 2009
[...] Because my other partners in crime are still debating the moral repercussions of putting their photos on the internet, and I have resolved that since I am going to be more famous than Bill Gates, and will therefore not stay anonymous anymore, here are a few pictures from the island do i talked about on sunday.
