Across the hemisphere to Uganda
... after a long dusty quadding session or just before an epic day rafting the Nile. Or anytime, really.
Tonight we head on a long bus journey to Nairobi, Kenya to explore our last country in Africa before heading to South East Asia. We will be hopping on the Nairobi-Mombasa train, where we hope to meet up with the Roberts family who are holidaying in Mombasa at the same time as we will be there. A few friendly faces at the halfway point of our journey are being looked forward to!

ended, and after I am sure she tried to take me ...
Kamuli Mission Hospital
... people carrying jugs of water, and small children at the road’s edge, staring wide-eyed at our 3-van caravan - probably the extent of the excitement that they will see for the day.
Many things here look very similar to Ghana, like the "trading centers" – people lined up on the side of the road selling fruit and other goods. When we stop, people crowd the vans shoving chicken-on-a-stick, water bottles, and bananas through the open ...
