So the blog has been left to me this time after a very full half term in which the best intentions to produce a joint blog were overtaken by the time warp that is holiday time. As I wait to get my taxi to Entebbe airport to return to Juba, there's just time to put some photos up to give you a glimpse of a great week exploring some of Eastern Uganda. This is the first time that I've been let loose on the blog and it's a little awkward to operate. So please forgive the clumsy formatting and the time it's taken to download the myriad pictures.
Rather than give you a blow by blow chronological account of our trip to Kalagala Falls, Jinja and Sipi Falls (Mount Elgon), here are some snaps to give you an overall impression of a fantastic week in some lovely lodges (the first of which was very very luxurious!):
 |
| 24 hours at Wild Waters Lodge (we didn't get to keep the bath robes!) |
All of them had amazing views:
 |
| Our Banda at Nile Porch Hotel |
 |
| Lacam Lodge on the cliff top at Sipi Falls |
We managed to enjoy lots of good food and drink in some spectacular settings:

| Gin and Tonic as a storm approaches at Wild Waters Lodge |
 |
| Breakfast at Lacam Lodge |
We enjoyed walking, kayaking and chilling:
And seeing lots of wildlife:
We followed the story of coffee making:
 |
| Left to right, top to bottom: growing, pulping, drying, dehusking, roasting, grinding |
And of course enjoyed the results of our hard work:
The Landcruiser had a great trip on some very good roads and some very poor ones:
Finally we returned in time to attend the Poppy Ball organised by the British High Commission at the Kampala Sheraton raising money for both the Royal British Legion and the Ugandan Ex Servicemen's League.
Church on Sunday and catching up with friends was a great end to a wonderful week. We are now fully recharged and ready for work!
Ian will be back with a slicker blog in a fortnight's time (school reports will prevent an earlier episode!).
