... so motivated, to rent a dugout canoe and attempt to paddle it to Punishment Island (where they used to send unmarried pregnant women to die - very tolerant society to women that one!).

We very soon realised that we were never going to get even close to the island, mostly because we were falling victim to the 'Mzungu Corkscrew' - the complete inability of ...

L ouganda est parmis les plus pauvres du monde et pourtant cela ne se constate pas trop. Les infrastructure sont assez bonnes et fonctionnent (que cela fait du bien d avoir un distributeur autiomatique qui vous delivre de l argent apres avoir vecu 2 semaines sur vos reserves), tous les champs sont cultives, je dirai meme qu ils sculptent la montagne comme autour du lac bounyoni ...

... water supply.

One of the guys from the UK,Tom, was stung 7 times. We are spending today in a gorgeous campsite and we have the day to ourselves which is nice. Robin and I went for a walk and are going to relax for the rest of the day by the water. Tomorrow we start ...

You could be traveling 80km and all of sudden there would be part of the road missing....and BANG...your getting air off the seats.
