Good Morning !!
I just got up and
thought: Damn, I should write something for my blog.
No, actually I
thought: Damn, I MUST write something for my blog!!! - it has been
months since my last post and I'm truly sorry. The only excuse I
have, is that I've been terribly lazy.
Well – It's not
even an excuse.
Anyway, lets talk
about whats happening in Uganda:
Not too much
actually, concerning me at least – just life as usual.
A few things went
down though: Jessi (my girlfriend in case anybody doesn't know)
visited me for around 3 weeks and we've had a great time!
Did a lot of
traveling: We spent a lot of time in Entebbe, which was really
relaxed and beautiful.
Entebbe is a really
quiet and green city, situated directly at lake Victoria with a
beautiful botanical garden and zoo. There's also a heap of nice
restaurants and resorts – not the cheapest places though...
Then we spent some
time on Seesse Island – it's the closest thing to paradise I've
ever experienced :D
We stayed at the
(infamous) Horn-bill Camp, run by 2 old German Hippies and you get
the feeling of being in the late sixties: Small wooden huts with the
outside walls painted with many colorful pictures, directly at the
beach, while still at the outskirts of the forest.
To anybody who
might come by Sesse at any given time: Try to hitchhike with a pickup
across the Island – the view while standing on the back of the
pickup and the feeling of freedom that you experience are just
amazing!!!
Enough praises for
Sesse, let's get on: From Seesse we took the fairy to Masaka, where
we spent only one night and then went back to Kampala.
There we met up
with some of the other volunteers and a group of mostly teachers –
we were around 30 in total and took a big bus to Murchinson Falls
National Park, were we saw the falls (just mind-blowing, so massive
and impressive) and did a game drive where we saw all kinds of
animals:
Giraffes,
antelopes, elephants, buffaloes, all kinds of cool birds, but no
lions unfortunately.
The big downside to
the trip was, that Jessi got really sick and couldn't enjoy herself
and I was too worried to enjoy myself most of the time...
We managed to get
some treatment quite fast, so she was better soon. (:
Then she had too go
again – far to early !!! :(
And life turned
back to normal...
Well, there really
hasn't been much happening since then, except for me falling sick
with bronchitis, gastronometities (or something like that, the name
was hard to remember) and malaria at the same time.
Kinda sucked, but a
few days and various meds later I was back on track.
And thats were I'm
at the moment.
Before I forget,
the web-page of Global Village Network should be up by now, so if
you're interested check it out! I'll put a link somewhere for you -
Some of the contend might not be up jet though...
Well, thats all for
now.
Bye, see you next
time :D
