All is well by the lake

Just a quick note to let you know we're alive. we've not really stopped rushing or travelling for a few weeks. We're in Uganda now. We had a lovely few days in gorgeous Zanzibar (it does exist after all), been on a ferry to reach Uganda (it's soooo green here, and rather cold actually), been up a volcano, hiked 4 hours and 4 hours back to see Gorillas (yes we finally decided we couldnt really *not* do it) and now we're chilling out on an a lake island which has cheeeeeese, and aubergines, and goulash - and tonight we're watching an actual film...bliss. it's been so nice we've stayed an extra day but tomorow we're off to try and crack open the IN.PENETR.ABLE forest.

Thinking a lot about Christmas and home. I hear it's all a bit snowy over there. Jealous. We're thinking of hiking some mountains for 6 days and there's snow up the top apparently so i'll try chuck a snowball your way x x x

Hope you're all well. Rach.
