Trip to Uganda:

Having spent 82 days on mission working almost 7 days a week I decided to take a trip to Uganda for the weekend of 11 Feb. This included visiting the cities of Kampala and Entebbe.  In addition to lounging around the pool and watching satellite TV I visited a museum in Kampala.  I have a DVD of the displays in the museum which I am bringing home with me. Here are some pictures of other things I did there:

Walking up the hill towards the Baha'i Temple in Kampala

Seen in animal sanctuary. Not sure if these were inhabitants or visitors






















Did you know that you can hire a car and driver for less than USD $50 per day in Kampala? I found out later that I could probably have hired him for USD$25 but I still think I got a bargain.  Don't bother with taxis if you decide to go for a visit.

  1. Very cool! How were you able to resist rubbing the lion's belly? Was it seriously that close to you, as in, if it were hungry, you would've gone from person to snack in 2.4 seconds?

  2. Hmm, not sure that I ever felt tempted to rub this guys belly, particularly since his mate was only about 10 feet away on the right side of the tree.
