Before I knew that it would take us SIX AND A HALF HOURS of grueling trekking up and down mountains, in the rain, in the slippery mud, with the ants and the snakes and the vines wrapping around my ankles, climbing over logs, etc, etc during the incredible gorilla trekking adventure, I had booked a number of excursions for the afternoon.
One of the experiences I was most looking forward to was the coffee experience -- the opportunity to visit a coffee plantation, and take the experience from picking the beans, roasting the beans, and enjoying brewed coffee.
Given how late we started the tour, we did an accelerated/abbreviated approach. But the experience did culminate in a delicious "cup 'o joe"
Also - after the tour I was able to purchase some coffee from Bwindi to enjoy back home (and for holiday gifts).
