Travel Day to Fort Poral

Up early again and headed to catch the bus to Kampala and then on to Fort Portal. We had debated taking the bus on hard surfaced roads versus a shorter trip, in kilometers, via matatus but after yesterday on bumpy, dusty roads, we opted for the bus. After about 10 hours we are now in Fort Portal relaxing at the Rwenzori View Guest House –a lovely, quiet, respite from the noise and pollution of the day. Ugandan's love loud music so the bus ride is anything but relaxing. We plan to use this as our base camp for the next 4- 6 days as we explore Kibale National Forest and environs.

Dinner at the Guest House was very good and enjoyable. The place is full with travelers from around the world. We chatted with a young Danish couple who have done lots of self-travel in Africa. Very interesting to gather this information as we think about other trips we would like to take.
