The Joys of Kampala

As the end of term approaches the busyness continues and was added to last week, as we took a trip to the hot and dusty capital Kampala.

It was a flying visit but eventful non the less.   A couple of visits to the Ministry of Education for letters to accompany our work permit applications.  Then off to Immigration to file our papers.   Meanwhile this was interspersed with a trip to the dentist for Craig, managing to avoid a root canal (sounds painful - so quite a relief).  Then a trip to the hospital for Leo to have his heart murmur checked out.  All went well, though I think Leo was disappointed to find he did not have two hearts like dr Who :-(

We managed a tasty treat at Spur Steak - which was really great!  The rest of the time Emmy's aunty hosted us and we were fortunate to have arrived just in time for one of her son's graduation parties!  So a full on Ugandan feast with Leo and Bethany assisting with serving up chapatti and chicken, opening bottles of soda and generally being very helpful.

Finally we headed back on the long road to Kabale, to be greeted again by a dark house as the power was off again :-(    We now just have to wait to hear when our passports are stamped and then we can pick everything up and apply for Leo and Bethany's student passes!

Roll on the holidays!  Send the chocolate now :-)
