Crater Lake Hike and Ndali Lodge

Today was our last day. We first went to the see the Crater Lakes on a hike. But what happened was that we were dropped off at the wrong starting point, walked an hour to the right starting point, and then finally walked two hours (up a small mountainous hill) to this remote trading post. Along the ways we saw Crater Lakes and little children shouting ‘muzungu’ and following us. It was very interesting to see how little contact with westerners these villages had. We then went to Ndali Lodge for a final Ugandan lunch. The hotel was very fancy and very scenic. It was basically built on a cliff. Our final activity was going to see Joshua, the Fort Portal Secondary headmaster. Joshua has a farm that has many different tropical fruits and we got to sample all of them and bring some back to the field station for dinner. We learned a large amount about the crops of Uganda, and how they are grown and eaten. For example, we learned how you chew sugar cane (no need for silverware!).
