On Saturday morning we were afforded a slight lay in before
breakfast. I spent the morning listening to music, writing some of my blog and
reading ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ for the coming year at University.

At around lunch time we went into Kanungu town for lunch and
a look around the market. Most of the girls were desperately trying to find
clothes for Ashleigh’s ‘Big Fat Gypsy’ themed 25
th birthday party
later that night. Me and Dec headed off to try and find some food and bought a
bag of what we thought were pastries filled with rice, and turned out to be
full of some kind of weird bean, which were pretty awful. When we were buying
the ‘food’ we had a bit of uneasy moment where a man began grabbing at us and speaking
at us in Wachiga which we couldn’t understand. Afterwards Dec went and bought an
‘I <3 Jesus’ hat for about 50p which locals seemed to like. We then went and
found a stall that sold Rolex’s for something decent to eat. A Rolex is
basically an omelette wrapped in chapatti, it’s by far the best food that you
can buy in town.

Back at the lodge we relaxed, did some lesson planning and
sunbathing before having dinner and getting ready for the party. Dinner was a
lovely BBQ with plenty of rice and potatoes. Despite how chewy the meat was,
everyone was just happy to have meat. After our meal we started celebrating
Ashleigh’s gypsy themed birthday. I wore a hat, vest and shorts and lent Dec a
vest, as well as lending out a hat to both Ross and Kit. The LRTT bunch were
invited to the party but instead decided to seclude themselves and remain apart
from the group. A few hours in to the
party, the group from gorilla trekking arrived back at the lodge. It turned out
that that they had had a horrific time, having trekked for close to 10 hours
through the jungle they were suddenly attacked by hundreds of wasps, all the
members of the group were stung repeatedly and in massive numbers. But they all
joined in on the party and had a good time. Around 1ish, some members of the
LRTT group started giving abuse about the level of noise that we were making
and generally just whining. By 2 o clock we were all back in bed.

On Sunday morning a lot of people left to go to the opening
of a new church in the area while the rest of us discussed in great detail the
events of the night before, as well as to bitch about the LRTT group. A couple
of us, including myself were spoken to about supposed behavior due to the
LRTT’s whining and moaning.
The majority of the day was spent recovering from our
respective hangovers, playing pool and just relaxing. We all then had dinner
and watched Step Brothers on the projector, which is such an over rated film.
After, we all just went to bed.
