A Sudden Goodbye
So the four of us who arrived together at Lake Bunyonyi also left together, this time for some more mountains and lakes further north. This was a journey which was marked by the sudden departure of Jose, a guy whose company I'd enjoyed greatly over the last few weeks.

We had a
late lunch at ...
