Arrival into Uganda

1am

After a brief stop to drop off passengers in Kigali, Rwanda, we arrived into Entebbe at a little after midnight.  Took an hour to go through customs, get luggage, and meet up with John and Hannington, then drove to Sheron Hotel in Kampala.  Had been warned ahead of time that the beds were just box springs but by this point not sitting up to sleep is a plus.  Think I could sleep just about anywhere.

7:30am

Woke up before the alarm went off.  Felt pretty well rested.  Got up and showered.  Interesting shower as it is not enclosed  and I felt guilty about getting the entire bathroom wet.  Had breakfast at the hotel which consisted of toast, scrambled egg, fruit, coffee, and juice.  Then John, David, and I met up with Hannington to take an exploration trip to Jinja.  First stop was to exchange money.  One US Dollar equals 2630 Ugandan shillings.  John pointed out some of the best spots in Kampala to do shopping.  It was almost a 2 hour drive to Jinja.  Got there and it was raining and hailing.  Not a great time to see the start of the Nile, so we went to meet Shirley at Soft Power Health clinic.  Looked around their compound and got some ideas.  More connections!  Went to lunch at a coffee shop in Jinja then once it cleared up… went to see the start of the Nile.  Very pretty and the water is super warm.  Drove back discussing school stuff with Hannington.

Hitting the sack early tonight as I am exhausted!
