We are currently in the Bagpackers Hostel. We arrived here on monday at around 1am, after having travelled for almost 2 days, including a 3 hour on flight delay in heathrow a ten hour stopover in nairobi and a 2 hour wait for buses in entebbe. We wer all very tired when we reached the hostel and were so grateful when John offered us free tea and coffee and pancakes and rooms for the night.
Today was our first real day in uganda and we visited the irish embassy and learned about all the work irish aid is doing over here. a few people fell asleep but it actually was very interesting..honestly. we then travelled to the slums and visited a drop in centre run by a man from brighton called joe cummiskey who does a lot for the community and gave us a chance to go in to the community and meet some of the families who are sponsored and helped by the centre.
tomorrow we're heading west for our acclimitisation trek.. its late.. blog soon...gossip girl xoxo
