Entebbe & Kampala

Arrived at 10pm local time so unfortunately was not able to see any Africian landscape as we landed. Got through border controls no problem. Saw a large WANTED poster for a J. Stark in the airport, decided not to take picture of it for fear of being questioned.

We were met by the Self Help country director, whose name now escapes me (it is midnight and I have been traveling all day in fairness).

Entebbe is abou 40 kilometers from Kampala and is the old Birtish Colony town I am told. Kampala is a big city (popoulation 3 million) and we drove in late at night, lots of people on the streets, in bars, around fires etc. Our guide told us Kampala never sleeps.

Difficult to really get a feel for the place late at night, seems to be vibrant, lots of scooters, lots of people just walking on the side of the road, very poor in certain areas and then big high rise buildings and commerce. Drivers overtake each other with speed and not a lot of room. We drove through the city to a very quiet residential area where we are staying the night in the Capital Palace Hotel. A hug from Ray and off to bed it is; it has been a long day and we have a full day tomororw.
