After feeling a little run down from all of the activities and classes we have been working on, we decided to take a weekend away. We traveled across Lake Victoria to Mwanza. Normally, there is an overnight ferry. But it isn't running so we decided to have our first bus adventure. It was definitely an adventure. It took about 10 hours to get to the hotel and at the end of the trip, the bus itself ended up boarding a ferry to make the last leg of the trip to Mwanza. The bus was small and crowded. There were passengers that stood for hours because there were no seats. It rained quite a bit and some of the windows were broken. So the people seated next to those windows were soaked. And of course, there was a chicken on the bus....at one point it got free and wandered up and down the aisle.
But the trip was worth it. The hotel had a swimming pool and a playground. We got to eat delicious, prepared meals and take hot showers. We felt rested and ready to finish off the last few weeks before Easter break. I'm sure we'll be visiting again soon....but we may wait for the ferry to be up and running again!
