My Intro to a piece of heaven

I arrived well to Kampala; after a couple of crazy Emirates airways loopings… This company seems like they have a trademark in crazy landings…. To a point during our landing in Dubai a guy sitting two rows ahead felt the need to come sit closer to me and keep me talking and offering me mints! But then, the two other landings in Addis and Entebbe were ok, I took on me to be strong…. Ehhe

And…. That was really worth it…. Uganda made me smile the minute I landed… While waiting for Viktoria, a couple of taxi drivers kept me busy chatting and one even offered to call Vik from his phone. Kind hearted people… 

So there we were on our way to Kampala; but we had a stop in Entebbe on the lake shores for a drink. A Waragi (local Gin) and coke overlooking the Ssese Islands…

Ok, my idea of driving in Kampala is already over.. Heheh If you think Cairo or Lebanon is bad, think twice, I found worse.. I’ll take a video of it at some point as I cannot explain it! So my new best friends to be will be the Boda-Boda, these motorcycle taxis. Interesting fact, Boda-Boda comes from Border to Border. As these were the means of transportation from Uganda to neighboring countries ‘borders.

My bouquet of recycled flowers



After an amazing night here, full of thunder and lightning (beautiful!!!), I am now sitting on this wonderful terrace with a garden overlooking the city center and the Victoria lake, we have a 360 degree view uphill, in company of Vik, Helen (the helper), Shasha & Bobby (the two beautiful adorable Labradors). Today is just running a couple of errands with Vik around town to get to know the city. More later… Ciao ciao!
