The road to Kasese

Our chariot awaits!




Here is some roadside action heading into Kampala, where we picked up the teacher resource books that were hot off the press.








Here is some construction. Each stud in the wall is a whole tree trunk and I think these supports will be replaced by bricks as building occurs. The same materials are used for scaffolding on the sides of many buildings under construction.




Bananas are produced in this - the western parts of Uganda.




Small towns along our journey looked a bit like the wild west.




A married woman who is a house wife traditionally wears a costume like this everyday. It is locally known as a Gomesi and is also used for traditional functions such as weddings. It keeps the con men away from her!



Northern and southern hemispheres meet here!


Can you see the forest behind the tea? Yes, these are tea crops, and behind is a man-made forest of quick-growing Eucalyptus trees. We were giddy after an 8-hour journey and a silly game of word association. This is Fort Portal.



Lake Africa lies just south of Queen Elizabeth Park, which is a nationally protected area and home to many of "the big five" - the rhino, lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo.
