leisure is a lodge in Africa
If you want to have a real leasure, pleasure experience, you should go to Africa and stay in one of those fantastic luxurious lodges. its not cheap (at least 100$ pp per night) but all money and minutes spent there are worth it. alice and me stayed this weekend at "Mihingo Lodge", a lodge build 1,5 years ago in Lake Mburo National Park. which is 4,5 hours carride from kamapala. its build on a high rock in a fantastic much organic natural way, using p.e. old olive tree stems as poles for the houses. But the most stunnig thing is the pool! From the tents and main place you can oversee the savannah and observe the water hole where antilopes, impalas, warthogs and zebras come for drinking. in the evening you could feed bushbabies, just before you have your own fanatsic dinner.
in the morning, waking up with the first sunstrokes at around 7, the clouds are slowly fading away over the downlaying savannah, the birds start to TSHILP and PILP under the fog, and the sun is risin majesticly over the scenery. the new day is unfolding beneath you, while the the frehly brewed ugandan coffee is waking up your organism likewise. then a hot shower , where you can still observe the scenery through the open windows.
hach, a day in life....

Hi Ina,
The fancy version of touring Lake Mburo. I liked our low budget version very much, sleeping in tents among the hippos and leopards :-). But I came to admire the lodges in Africa and I am glad that you spoiled yourself. Did you do the walking safari?
I miss you and Africa, my dear.
Cheers
Tina
