Enjoying a little rest,
Looking across at the African continent
Cause that's where we're headed next!
Today we leave for Uganda. Because the purpose of the bike trip was to raise money for the orphanage at Lake Bunyonyi. We are going by plane, not van. Nor bikes. Although this part will probably be harder than the cycle - certainly emotionally. And maybe physically, as we have 40 pairs of plimsolls, plus our rucksacks and bags to lug around for the next few days on planes, buses and boats before we even get there!
And why, are you wondering, are there 2 vans in the picture? Well, our dear friend Dizzy, the owner of the other van will be joining us in a few weeks time at the orphanage. Now though I think he's still parked up on the edge of Europe...
The airport has moved on in the 18 months since we last flew to Africa. Its all self check-ins, self-baggage labelling, self-questioning and self-service. I'm sure when you know what you're doing (i.e. if it was your JOB) it would all be very easy. Us, we're a little bit stressed... Would rather have gone on the bikes...
So, we will try to "blog" when we can - not very sure about the lay of the land until we arrive - but for now remember the airport logo:
"If you want something done - do it yourself!"
