NEW: I have just printed a hardback photo book with all my memories of the island and you too can see these online using the link below
My Island Home
In February 2012 I moved onto an island to 'island sit' Here are some of the pics of the house and island. The island is about 600m upstream of Nile Special wave.
First I had to move there. I basically moved from less than ten metres on one side of the Nile to less than ten metres on the other side of the Nile and less than 1km upstream from the Lemon. In order to move house I had to take all my stuff across from the Lemon on the wooden canoe, then load three bodas with everything, find our way upstream to a canoe ferry crossing that lies just above the island, load the canoe, kayak across the Nile, transfer everything to a smaller canoe and paddle to Steve's island!!! The most interesting house move I've done yet!
Coming from upriver the island lies in front of you .. small and wooded ...the house is on the other side so you cannot see it from upriver.
