We ended the last entry with the words mpora, mpora (slowly, slowly) but just to prove that some things can happen quickly I thought I would mention our trip to Bwindi. Chris and Pam wanted to visit a health centre in Bwindi where two VSOers are working and apparently having a positive experience and really making a difference. Communication with that part of Uganda is difficult and we made several attempts to contact Paul and Vicky. On Saturday we received an e-mail saying that this week would be good for a visit so within a few hours we had a car and driver booked and set off on the 4 hour drive to Kampala (overnight in Kampala) and then a 10 hour journey down to Bwindi. It's right in the south west about 1 mile from the Congo border (see map on right!). So, we are here for a week, returning to Masindi on Sunday. I'm sure there'll be lots to tell but it will have to wait until the following week! Have just managed to get a slot on the internet (it's apparently no good when the sun shines) but thought we'd let everyone know that all's well and we're having a great trip. Until next week ..............
