First Day in Uganda

Part One.

First off, I would like to thanks those of you who attended the service on Sunday Morning. We all greatly appreciated your support.

We left Holy Trinity Church shortly after 4pm and headed off for Heathrow. The minibus ride went fairly smoothly, albeit with a little noise from some X-factor hopefuls in the back.
6pm on the dot we reached the airport - right on time. Check in held the usual, and expected, delays but was fairly uneventful.
No significant purchases in the departure lounge, though not for lack of desire. A 33K GBP Rolex would look good on anyone's wrist!

The flight went well - by the way, Miriam if you read this, Jono sends his love!

Arriving at Entebbe, we were taken by how humid it was, even at 7 o'clock in the morning. We were delighted however, when almost as soon as we left the airport we spotted some monkeys and their babies in the trees. We also witnessed three people on one bike!

The road to Kampala was certainly an enlightneing experience. Along the streets were countless brightly coloured marketstalls bearing everything from fresh fruit to Coke and whole (uncovered) carcasses. We also managed to get some practise in for the white water rafting, curtesy of the numerous potholes/craters!

We have to go, but will endeavour to update you with Part Two later today!
