Two days ago we crossed into Uganda on our journey towards the gorillas. The landscape is amazing...mountains, lush vegetation and lots of animals like MASSIVE safari ants and baboons.
We are now in the town of Jinja which is where the source of the nile river starts from Lake Victoria. To celebrate we decided to have a truck party in our campsite last night that involved lots of card drinking games, trying to climb into a kayak suspended upside down above a bar (not a very coordinated effort) and my favourite...the "dance-off"!! Let's just say we have a few robot dancers in our troop that could rival Mr McCann!! Feeling quite dusty today but steve and I had to come into town as we are on dinner duty so have to go to the local markets to buy the food. Ah, life on the truck!
We have also had our first rain in the last few days and suddenly the reality of camping in the rain came crashing down. After packing up our tent in the rain at 5am one morning Steve and I promptly decided to upgrade the next night for a massive $16 and stay in a room at the campsite instead!!! Luxury!!! It was SO nice the next morning when everyone else was pulling down their tents and we just strolled out of our room! mmmm. Although enough gloating..we are back in the tent now!!
Off for some snacks!
