Lake Bunyoni, Bushara Island and our return to Kampala

Bushara Island
Windy, thunderstorms, and birds
This place will grant peace

Donna and I enjoyed our final time on Bushara Island with a final hike around the island and a delicious breakfast.  Then we headed back to mainland by boat to meet Robert and return to Kampala.

Our drive was proceeding uneventfully when we came across a terrible car accident.  Many people were running towards the overturned truck and car and to loot at take sheet metal from it.  The accident looked terrible and likely fatal.  We kept driving past for fear that we might get caught up in the mix.  Robert did call the police and stop at a police department in a nearby town to alert them of the accident and looting.  However, shortly there after, possibly still shaken from the accident, Robert hit a big pothole and we could tell it wasn't good.  It appeared that at least the alignment had been impacted, so we continued on slowly to Mbarara and hoped to find a mechanic.  Robert dropped us off at a restaurant to eat lunch and wait while he fixed the car.  Five hours later we were back on the road to Kamapala.  We arrived at about 11 pm ready to be done traveling and settled back in at the Red Chilli.
