Landed


Well we seem to have landed with a bang. The last 36 hours has been physically and mentally exhasting and we are all shattered. It was quite hard to lock up my house and leave it in the hands of the agent - I still haven't got a tennant. We changed flights, landed in Uganda, lost 2 hours in the time change and had some small hiccups with plane and luggage delays; all in the middle of the night. We arrived at the Guest House in time to hear the very noisy dawn chorus.... so much for 3 hours sleep!! Kampala is hot, busy, dirty and noisy - typically African. We went to church this morning and then spent the day trying (in a very African way) to organise things for the teams who start to arrive in 3 weeks. Things take so much longer and seem so much more complicated here although the hospitality that we have been shown is supurb. We are all shattered but having said all that, beginning to understand a bit about Uganda and the way things tick. Tomorrow; more appointments..............

    Hey Linda, sorry not to have been in touch before, been away on leave, but back now and catching up on the blog sites. So glad to hear you've arrived safely and that you're settling in. Now you are just going to have to get used to the 'African' way of doing things... go with the flow and I've no doubt you'll bring your own special way of getting things done and on the move! Gonna move on myself to read your later postings!! All our love, Kev, Yvon & Clare.
