Nadat we mijn spullen bij het geusthouse hadden afgezet zijn we kennis gaan maken bij het Rode Kruis en naar een aantal andere nederlandse Posted by SuzannaM in Suzanna Internationa(a)l | Jan 28, 2011
  • Wakker worden in Kampala26 Januari 2011 Op een dag wakker worden met de geur van bloemen, een warme tropische luch met een verkoelend briesje en een vage geur van een houtsvuur... wie wil dat nou niet :D. Gisteravond ben ik aangekomen op het vliegveld Posted by SuzannaM in Suzanna Internationa(a)l | Jan 27, 2011
  • HOT!OK, I guess the dry season has officially begun. It's 11 pm and weather.com says it's currently 24 degrees in Kampala. The mid-day heat is stifling, though the breeze does help to make it just barely bearable. The strangest part Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Jan 25, 2011
  • Making ProgressThe last couple of weeks have seen significant progress on the resource centre front. Kara and I have hired a nearly full-time centre co-ordinator named Susan who started this past Monday. She'll be working four days a week from 10-4, Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Jan 15, 2011
  • A Sampling of TitlesI was reading through my journal/day-timer and came across some book titles I jotted down while at a children's book fair awhile back (pretty heavy reading!): [i]Deadly Habits Who Killed Danny? Freda Doesn't Get Pregnant Sugar Mommy S Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Jan 7, 2011
  • Making wavesJust about recovered from our hangovers we decided to leave the cosy compound and nile view of the backpackers and head into Jinja town for a look around. We needed some exercise after our hog roasts and boozey nights Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 7, 2011
  • (can't thinkof a title for this one...) KampalaKampala is a big city. Bigger and more crowded, smoggier, but actually safer than even Dar es Salaam. We got to the outskirts of town in the bus and then sat in traffic for nearly an hour which Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 6, 2011
  • A Wild Explore in the WoodsI started this entry last year (Dec.30th LOL) and am hoping to finally finish it tonight! Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Jan 6, 2011
  • Bonus lakesNow we weren’t going to be hiking for 6 days we had some time to spare at a very relaxed pace. We had only bracketed the crater lake region on our map as a “maybe see” but we\re glad Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 4, 2011
  • Priced off the mountainThe one thing that had been certain for our Uganda leg of the trip had been some sort of trek, probably the six day hike, into the Rwenzori mountains. It used to be a rival with Kilimanjaro as the Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 4, 2011
  • Inpenatrable? pahBwindi Forest National Park is one of Uganda’s main tourist destinations for the INPENATRABLE FOREST and the mountain gorillas that live inside. But because few local people want to go there there is no public transport. But we Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 4, 2011
  • A dome from homeAfter all that hiking up and down steep hills our muscles were sore and our knees were creaking so we headed to Lake Bunyoni for some R&R (and clothes washing). We were told about a place (hi Dean and Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 4, 2011
  • Q. How do you fit eleven people in a Ford EscortThe Tanzania/Uganda border in the south is a small hut by the side of the dirt road with a very friendly man inside. I think it would have been possible to walk straight across because noone checked our passports Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Jan 4, 2011
  • 'Tis More Blessed to Give.... Yesterday, Christmas Eve, we delivered gifts to a local orphanage. It was a heart-warming experience and definitely gave me Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 24, 2010
  • Merry Christmas everyoneToday we've been christmas shopping in Kampala but the best present would be to fly you all over here. We're going rafting and kayaking on the Nile for christmas eve and then in the backpackers for Christmas day where there'll hopefully Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Dec 23, 2010
  • Volcanic GorillasThis is lifted directly from my journal so I hope my ramblings make sense... We're sitting about 2ft away from a roaring fire in our guest house. Rachel has a blanket over her legs and a towel wrapped around her feet Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Dec 23, 2010
  • It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like ChristmasTo say that the kids are pumped about our recent decorating binge would be a bit of an understatement. Graham was up at 6:30 this morning asking when it was time to go get our tree (friends who are leaving Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 18, 2010
  • Getting GrassThis afternoon, I had the opportunity to experience another aspect of Ugandan life alongside a local...which is to say it was about as authentic an experience as you can get. Our mission was to go get some grass so we Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 13, 2010
  • Just a Couple More Videos... Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 12, 2010
  • All is well by the lakeJust a quick note to let you know we're alive. we've not really stopped rushing or travelling for a few weeks. We're in Uganda now. We had a lovely few days in gorgeous Zanzibar (it does exist Posted by rachndave in Adventure Points | Dec 12, 2010
  • More MurchisonPhotos and videos don't do the experience justice, but here's my attempt to recreate our Murchison Falls National Park safari. [vid Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 11, 2010
  • Niteo: New Kansanga CentreIt's official: we've signed the lease, paid the rent, hired a caretaker and have started raising support for our new resource centre in Kansanga. On Monday, I gave my parents a tour of the place, which still needs some work, Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 11, 2010
  • Murchison FallsSo while we were staying at the Red Chilli up in Murchison, we had the good fortune of being introduced to George, a long-time Ugandan safari guide and story-teller extraordinaire.

  • Cool VideosI was able to catch some of the excitement at Bugajali Falls on video. You'll have to excuse the shaking on the second video. I think I was trying to move into a better position but if you stick out Posted by BriteLite in Mzungu Ramblings | Dec 3, 2010
