I am leaving. I know I still have to tell you about our last trip, to Kilembe and then Kiwa (the hot springs), from last weekend, but for now I just want to talk about how I am feeling.
For the last few weeks, most of the time is only me and D. We spend a lot of time together. When I am not working, we chill, we go to N’hamamba to have our shower and do the laundry, we go to the Mawa Market to buy stuff. We eat, a few days followed, just the two of us, because K. was doing something else. Still, I do not feel like we increased our intimacy. Our opinions diverge about almost everything. Perhaps, that’s the reason.
On our trip to Kilembe we just hiked a mountain with a guide, and in the end we supposedly would see some waterfalls. The bad news were that the waterfalls were inside a National Park and the fees (as usual) were absurd. The guys did not even let me try to arrange a free entrance, just until the waterfalls. So we just chill and have some snacks.
From there, because we had some time, the guys decided (finally) to bring me to the hot springs. In the entrance, the man try to charge us the “tourist” price but the guys insisted that they always come there and know the owner. After a while, we were let in for the regular price. We first go all the way to Nhamamba and drink our traditional drinks from Uganda. The guys love but I do not like that much. We have some fun together, finally, after a while. It is already night time when we decide to take a bath in the Hot Springs before leaving. I mean, just me and D., because K. refused for some reason.
We share the same motorbike to save some money. I was sitting behind Diego and could not avoid laying my head down in his shoulder.
When we arrive to our village, we have a little thing with the boda-boda. We change our plans about going all the way home, so we decide to stop by the village and walk the remain distance. But the guy freaks out and try to charge us the full price until our home. Insane! D. almost lost his mind with the guy. It the end, after some other guys come and show to the asshole that we were right, he left.
