This past Sunday was a wonderful day! I woke up and met my friends Oliwier and Elise at the Oil Com by my house and we headed in town to Africafe which is a Mzungu restaurant in town to have a morning coffee before heading out of town to Lake Dulutti. Well, seeing as how I do not like coffee... I actually had a Coke. Is anyone surprised? Hardly.
To get into town we took a yellow dala from Oil Com to then center of town and then walked about 15 minutes to Africafe. From Africafe we walked another 15 minutes to catch a green dala to take us towards the outskirts of town. Once we get off of the dala it is about a 20 minute walk through the country to the lake. Lake Dulutti is owned by the government and is a not huge but not small. It is a sunken vocanic crater and the center of the lake is 200 meters deep. DEEP. We went on a guided walking tour around the lake and it took a little over an hour to make the trek. We saw many plants and birds. We even saw these four foot long HUGE lizards. There were too many of these for my liking and I was more than happy to get out of the woods and to be sitting beside the lake eating lunch. Lunch consisted of Chips Kuku, chicken and french fries.
You are also able to canoe at Lake Dulutti but it was cloudy and kind of chilly so we decided against it and just headed back to town and then home.
