Day 17: Trip to town


23rd July:

A local guy sat next to me and opened up his little old laptop, only to reveal that his screensaver was a picture of him and me- I'd only met him for a grand total of about a minute! I was in hysterics!

 Local coming to sell wood to the kitchen at Butterfly

Walked into town to try the ATM again, and was greeted by nearly everyone I walked past. And it still amazes me how much these women can carry and balance on their heads. On the way home I bumped into Kingfisher and Happy Coconut- you can never walk into town without seeing people you know cause it's so small, plus everyone you walk past says hello.

I also met two girls called Esther and Faith, who followed me back to Butterfly to sell some limes to the kitchen staff. The younger girl was carrying the sack on her head and the older girl walked ahead. I thought was a bit weird that she wasn't helping, especially after I offered to help the girls carry the limes and realised how heavy they actually were!



After a swim in the lake back at Butterfly I attempted to have a shower, but there was no water, only drips :(
