Not much happened on day two. After a lovely breakfast with Jane and Jonathan, we took a bus to the airport, got on a plane in Amsterdam, ate, slept, watched movies, slept, ate, got off the plane in Entebbe and then waited for luggage, changed money and took a cab to Kampala. We did, however, get a very nice surprise by Lizanne's dad who met us at the airport with a taxi. He had also booked a room for us at Red Chilli, the travellers' hostel where he was staying and where we planned to stay. After a couple nice cold beers, we hit the sack.
I woke this morning at 8:00 and was met by a group of monkeys hanging around outside our cabin. There were a few babies, including a very tiny one who was attached to her mother's belly. SO cute!!! After a leisurely breakfast, we headed into town to do some errands. It's really amazing for me to be back in Africa after 7 years. The sights, the smells, the little details (like blue toilet paper and the fact that the bottles of water are always filled to the very top and the water inevitably splooshes out everytime you open a new bottle) all came back to me.

Hi Kath,
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived safely, hope you have a fantastic time. Can't wait to see you in lovely Carmarthen in a month or so. Can't promise anything as exciting as Africa though!
love Rowan
In response to Rowan's comment: Just make sure that things don't work properly and that there is plenty of dirt and that the water supply is unreliable and that the toilet paper is blue and I should feel right at home!
ReplyDeleteHey...have you been to Carmarthen before, that's a pretty accurate description.
