On my last supposed day in Uganda we decided to do some furniture window shopping. Obviously not buying anything but seeing what is offered and for what price. Xing Xing is the Ikea of Uganda. Liked some of their stuff for when I move down full time.
Went to Oasis and Garden City... had bacon/pineapple New York style pizza at Ilovenyc. Then went to see Oz- The great and powerful before heading back to the hotel to rest before going to the airport. Enjoyed watching Hannington watch OZ... he sat on the edge of the chair mesmorized by the movie... The things we take for granted are such a new experience for some! Left Kampala at 7:45pm... because of Easter traffic it took 2 hours to get to Entebbe. Went through a couple of security checkpoints then to a kiosk to check in before waving bye to Hannington and John. Got up the desk to have my documents checked when it is announced that the flight is cancelled due to mechanical issues. All the brakes needed to be replaced and they didn't have the parts in Entebbe. After waiting in the airport for 3+ hours trying to see if there were other connecting flights out, me and a new friend, Kate, decided to take KLM up on the hotel offer. We got on the bus and met another friend, Pam, who had her laptop so we chatted and then spent an hours or so trying to reach friends and family and figuring out what to do about flights. Went to bed about 2:30am but the room was nice with a comfortable bed, AC, and hot water!
