Saturday
Our third last day in Uganda.
Today some of us travelled to Peter’s house to watch Collingwood win the AFL Grand finial. It was fun, although most of us went for St Kilda and were disappointed at the loss.
The rest of the team stayed at the guest house and caught up with our first bus driver in Mbale, and his family. Then the group headed to the “Craft Market in Kampala”, half way through their time they caught up with the guys from the footy. I didn’t buy anything there but bought some stuff at the other market the day before (Yesterday).
After we had finished shopping we headed to the Suibie Watoto village, (it took a forever) but when we got there we were welcomed by families of Watoto children who we were paired with to have a traditional dinner. Apollo (One of our guides throughout the trip) said that there was over 100 houses at the village. And we soon found the out driving through the village. We (Me, Dad and Marty) were with Home 105 (2 of the kids in the family were away with the choir). Me and Dad made friends with a 11 year old named James who wants me to send him a letter when I get back Home.
After touring the village and saying our goodbyes we headed back on the 2 hour journey home.
On our way home we met a character who rode (his bike) up against our bus (and dodging cars) for 5 mins or so talking to us wilst we were going 60 – 70 Kms and hour. The funny thing was that some of the team had come across this guy in the same way 2 years before and he knew them. He was soo funny and good at what he was doing (he said he was a international professional, it was great.
Now are about to have our debrief of the trip and share good moments of the trip.
Tomorrow the rest of the group will be catching their flight back to Australia.
Which will leave Me, Dad and Marty again. (Yay ?)
