The weekend following Easter I too a trip to Entebbe. I traveled with my friend Monica, who I have been working with in the Nurse Training School. Entebbe is an idyllic town on the shores of Lake Victoria.
As we were by the lake side, I arranged a trip to Ngamba Island, on Lake Victoria, to see chimpanzees! Unbeknown to me, Monica was scared of traveling on the lake. She spent the first hour or so holding on to the boat for dear life, wondering how on earth the life jacket was supposed to keep her alive if she fell in!
Once we were on dry land again, even if it was surrounded by water, she began to relax. We enjoyed watching the chimpanzees playing, fighting and just sitting enjoying the sun shine! We were highly amused by their antics!
The island was beautiful and had many birds on it. All too soon our day's outing came to an end and we had to climb back into the boat and travel back over that vast expanse of water to the mainland..... That night we continued to feel the motion of the boat as we lay down to sleep!
