Another view of the city from the hotel

Giant snails from outer space!!
Found this on the wall of our campsite in Kampala, Uganda. Bigger than my fist - seriously!

Little kitten, awwwww
Ok, so are you surprised that i take pictures of domestic cats in Africa? Come on now. This was in Kisoro, Uganda, very near the Rwanda border.

Little kitten's moma and Des, my tour buddy
Again, this is in Kisoro, Uganda.

Enormous beers
Okay, so in Kenya and Uganda, bottles of beer are a standard 500ml (almost twice the size of our beers) but in RWANDA they're Muizig's are one litre tall!

Ya, i forget what these birds are called...
All i remember is that they are the Ugandan national bird! Pretty funky looking!

Me eating a "mealie"
It looks like corn on the cob (because it is!) but its like half cooked or something... kinda like eating unpopped popcorn kernels - Son Bon you would love mealies! :o)

Monkey on the van!
This be a vervet monkey on our vehicle at Lake Nakuru, Kenya. Cheeky little buggers!

African buffalo
Ummm... i think this was also at Lake Nakuru

Banded mongoose
Also cheeky little buggers, they kept trying to get into our food at Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda

The minibus, our vehicle
Gotta love those east african "roads"!

Giant Forest Hog
Not to be confused with Warthogs (apparently! cuz they look the same to me!) They were like vermin at QE National Park

Jinja - on our way to the Nile River
A red dirt road (as most roads are!) in Jinja, Uganda. I took the picture to try and capture that red-brown dirt that is EVERYWHERE. Some of my clothes are permenantly stained... and my feet too!

Amazing
Hey Janine, Just catching up on your blogs ... amazing doesn't seem to be the right word for what you've experienced, but the the boys and I are truly enjoying following your journey ... we've never had the Atlas out so much as we have in the past 2 1/2 months trying to keep track of where you are :) !! Take care. Janice
