Uganda

Firstly, a couple of things we failed to mention on the maasai, due to time restrictions. In the maasai village, the women build the huts and lucky old Jo got to have a go, which entailed slapping cow poo onto the roof of the huts, it took some persuading but she caved in in the end! Also, one of the warriors was regailing(spelling) us with his tale of killing a lion that had killed his cow. He promptly bought out this manky hat mad from the lions mane, inside of which was covered in large spiders. Sensing a photo opportunity he made me place the hat on my head, at which point my photographer, Joey, proceeded to chat to the chief, with me standing like a numski with this rotten spider infested lions mane on my head. The warrior would not let me take it off until Jo had taken the photo, but no rushing Joey eh. Anyway, back to our trip. We made it to Kampala on the, jo says comfy, i say, hells ride of a, bus. They can actually make these buses skid side ways round corners overtaking 18 wheeler trucks on single lane mud tracks. Jo was oblivious. Jo writes... Actually, I had the window seat so luckily couldnt see ahead!...Arrived in Kampala late, where we were accosted by a taxi driver, before being held up by the cops! Only wanted to see our visa stamps, but they were plain clothed. Found a nice camp, where we have finally done the laundry, hand washing stylee. Been into Kampala city centre...cant find bracket button or apostrophe, yesterday 9th Nov... this place is so much less aggressive than Kenya, and a more relaxed feel about it. Have been keeping up with all the african news and politics now, so ask away. P.s If you heard about the Briton being killed in Uganda then a) dont worry it was not us and b) its not a simple as the papers are saying, expat anyway not a tourist. p.s. found bracket button, still no sign of apostrophe. We are getting excited as we visited the Ugandan Wildlifwe Authority, and have acquired passes to see the gorillas in bwindi national park. We leave tomorrow, 11th. Well see the gorillas on the 12th. We love Uganda....its so green and lush, and hot. With big butterflies. Gotta dash as the timer is running out. Will keep you posted.
