Kampala Extension

After Rwanda I was supposed to fly to Ethiopia from Kampala. Unfortunately I made a big error with the flight in that I assumed booking online got me a ticket. In fact, it only got me a reservation and I had to go to the booking office to actually buy the ticket. The result was that I was at the airport with no ticket and there was no booking office at the airport. I had to return to Kampala and the earliest flight was 4 days later. Lesson learned at the expense of 4 less days in Ethiopia.
Before my initially scheduled flight a group of us went to Bussi Island (or possibly peninsula) on Lake Victoria. It was very nice there and relaxing but the bugs at night were quite extreme. As a result of hanging around Kampala I was there while many other people left and also to meet Tyler's brother who arrived just before I left. Finally since my flight wasn't until 6:30pm, I spent a couple hours at the Entebbe wildlife santuary which was quite cool because there was a big family of chimps and also whito rhinos amongst many other African animals.


I am also impressed with the organized chaos of these mini-bus parks. Walking around Kampala's is like navigating a maze
