Me again, the internet is still on. We lose electricity in this hotel all the time! Just wanted to say thank you for all the messages. In reply, no we have not been sick yet, actually we will be the only people travelling home from Uganda who have put on a stack of weight. We have not lost any more luggage, since the taxi driver took off with my backpack. Fiona left her passport at the bank yesterday, but we didnt even realise until we went back to bank. We have not fallen off the Boda Bodas yet, which is a miracle, as there are NO road rules at all, no helmets, and the roads are uneven dirt with enormous potholes. We have NOT been in any danger, as they are no rebels in Uganda anymore, they have moved to Sudan and the Congo. We have been bitten by mossies but we are fully protected. ok, time to go, love you, lisxxxx

'In your hearts and pockets girl'
Fi and Lisa...thinking of you daily! Giving my year three class all your updates...they have you marked on the world map! The kindness of all those who love you both follows you as you walk through the worst and the best of humanity...stay safe and wise! You do have a consistent baggage problem...just things in the end but maybe Fiona shold tie her passport 'round her neck? Looking forward to the next adveture! Love you both
