The Hairy Lemon is Neither Hairy Nor a Lemon But Just Right

Where: Hairy Lemon Island, Uganda

With a name like Hairy Lemon, this hotel has completely piqued our interest. What is a hairy lemon? Does the hotel serve them here? Not quite.

The Irish owners of this Ugandan retreat along the Nile River outside of Kampala named the place after a favorite pub in Dublin. You'll find birds, monkeys, and kayakers, but no lemons and not that much hair.

If you haven't been, Kampala is hot, dusty, dirty, and busy. Thus the Hairy Lemon might just be the best place within an hour's drive to get away from all that pollution and those con men trying to get away with your money.
