Farewell to Uganda

So here we are in the last few hours in Uganda - 5.45pm in the afternoon last Friday, just arrived at the Royal Victoria Lake Hotel in Entebbe.



We'd left Mukono earlier in the day, lunched with the Hovils in Makindye, Kampala, and then borrowed their Land Rover and gardener/driver, Levi, for the 35km journey to Entebbe. Four of our five suitcases lashed to the roof-rack.

Lucy Alastair and Peter braved the swimming pool and then we all shared a great farewell barbecue supper by the poolside, before picking up a taxi for the ten minute hop to the airport.

Flights all on time. Though not much sleep was enjoyed we arrived in Gatwick via Brussels at 7am UK time Saturday morning, just caught the 8.05 train to Guildford, and were in the tranquil calm of JoJo's mother's garden enjoying the English summer sun shortly after 9 o'clock.

So, journey's end - and also, for all of us, a new beginning. Thanks to all who have been following these blogs. This one is open for comments! Hoping to post some follow-up blogs for hardened readers in the next few weeks.

Have thoroughly enjoyed reading this journal, and seeing the pctures especially. Glad you are all home safe and sound.
