Hey, so we are now in Kampala after quite a day yesterday. We caught the bus at 7:00 in the morning. We were expecting a 10 hour drive. Well, apparently East African roads aren't up for that. We travelled 500 km in 13.5 hours. If you would like to do the calculations, we were travelling at an average speed of around 40 km an hour on a primary hiway. Are you kidding me? To say the least, at 8:30 that night I was a little short tempered. We arrived at our hostel around 9, got something to eat and then off to bed. Mom got her first glimpse into the world of overlanding - as there were two other overland trucks already there. I am excited becasue tomorrow is the end of us having to plan things. Somebody else will now be responsible for our travel arrangements and getting guides. Should be nice.
This morning we headed to the Kasubi Tombs which was actually quite interesting. A little history on the Buganda people and their kings. Anyways, it's raining right now, so it will probably be a pretty relaxed afternoon. Happy Father's Day Dad!!!!
PS Both pictures are from Nairobi.
