Touchdown

Arrived safe and well.



Bags all arrived albeit a little moist.



Arrived at the very luxurious (for Ugandan standards) Hotel Africana

Late arrival so basically straight to bed.

A relaxed day today, up for a talk with our guide Samantha and then off on a bus ride

across town to the Kasubi Tombs in Kampala.

Kampala is everything imagined, ramshackle in places, hustle bustle and a non existent

highway code.

We drove past most of the interesting buildings and had a good trip around the burial "palace" of the ugandan kings. So some history learnt and culture experienced.



In the afternoon had a little down time, some chose to stay in the hotel, the more adventurous

accompanied me to the mall for some supplies. Headphones are very cheap so the girls (Sophie and Victoria) who had lost theres, pushed the boat out with some replacements. A whole 12 gbp for some fancy sony ones. Frivolous.

I of course bought a couple of maps (sad) and an icecream



Just about to go out for an Indian meal ! and then to bed.



Early start for the lovely 10 hr, yes TEN drive to Kabale NP.

The luxuries of a Hotel will soon be a distant memory !
Internet also will be non-existent

Onward....
