This weekend I got off my lazy behind and went exploring the crater lake area. I splurged a bit and went with a guide, which was good because it wasn't particularly easily navigated. We did a 2.5 hike which included beautiful views of several of the lakes, walking through villages and farms (not so exotic for me), and the best part - swimming in Mahoma waterfalls. Well, swimming - more of a power-shower. It was a amazing, and worth the steep hike back up from the falls which nearly killed me. We had lunch at a campsite by one of the lakes, which had four kinds of not-so-shy monkeys; vervet, black and white colobus, red colobus and red tailed monkey. Spotted them all! The vervets are my favorite, so cute. There was a small patch of forest reserve by the campsite so we also took a shorter forest walk where I got to learn a lot about the different trees and their uses, most of which I have now forgotten but it was nice at the time..

Sunday was spent sleeping, working and reading by the pool - a rather enjoyable emerging Sunday tradition.
Ser fint ut! Tror bestämt att du får göra en sådan utflykt till med oss:)
