Day 6
We started this day off by catching the early bus and then a matatu to the Rwandan border. Upon arrival at the border, we were welcomed by boda drivers, money exchangers and taxi drivers. We opted for the boda drivers and as a result were taken by the (pictured above) to a collapsed mountain. The walk up the hill was steep, but the view afterwards was incredible. It was kind of a random journey, but totally the perk of being an independent traveler!!
After arriving in the little town of Kosoro, we were escorted to a "shared" taxi. This is a system where 6 people split the cost of a car and take it to a specific location. Because there were only two of us, Gem and I, we had to wait for the car to fill up. Let's just say that 3 hours later, we were finally on our way. And neither of us were in the best mood. Haha. We finally arrived in Kibale were we had to take another boda to the boat dock. Upon arrival the boat dock, we had to negotiate a price for a boat to Bushara Island. At this point, thundering rain clouds were on their way and we were ready to be at the island. Finally we arrived and met up with Sam, Charlie, Irene and Claire.
Our destination!
Can you see the clouds behind me?
