Hello there, sure you've all missed hearing my tales so hear you go.... We arrived in Kampala, Capital of Uganda, was nice to see some tall buildings again actually, and a hint of civilisation as we know it.... The campsite was called the Red Chilli Hideaway, it was pretty nice actually and we upgraded to a room for the night due to the rain from the night before and the fact that we had to leave at 5 30 am the next day! The journey was long but really pretty, Uganda is one of the prettiest countries I've been to, loads of hills and pretty farmland (never thought that would float my boat ey?) Finally we arrived at Lake Bunyoni, it is HUGE and a v odd shape but also "pretty" - they call it Little ... read more

Wow, what a week it has been, last Wednesday I set off with my 1 other group member - yes there are only 2 of us right now? How bizarre is that?

Hello all!!! Hope all is well with you. Sorry for the delay (for those that are bothered?!) So after heading back to my cousins in Benalmadena, Spain after Morocco, i lived the life of luxury for a few days, eating plenty, drinking too much and having the use of things like washing machines????? I think it was a good decision though, got loads of admin bits sorted and Morocco will still be there another day!!! I flew back to Bristol on the Monday, then straight to Heathrow where i got my flight to Nairobi via J'Burg - absolutely ridiculous way to do it but its the only way my ticket worked?! I got to Nairobi at about 6pm, arranged my transfer to Marangu the next day and went to my hotel. Nairobi: Busy, heaving and contrasting ... read more
