My final days in Kamuli
... slaughter of all cows in Kamuli due to foot & mouth disease :/ Luckily humans catching it is very rare but luckily I am outta there so I dont need to stress.

Uganda, the adrenaline bit!

Approx. 16 of us went white water rafting. It was great fun, especially for those of us that can't swim! I fell out at a 16ft waterfall (Rapid #1) as well as 4 times when the raft flipped! I survived the rapids and it was followed by great food and a few drinks! ...
