Finally back home!

We returned from Kampala last night--our motorbike in the back of a pickup truck. A couple of new volunteers were going in our general direction, so a VSO driver delivered all of us.

The campus is quite quiet with all the students gone for school holidays. Schools are closed until mid February.

Nice to be back although unpacking and (hand)washing all these filthy clothes will take some time. The Kampala pollution, dirt, dusty roads combined with sweat makes cleaning the clothes a bigger challenge than normal.

Oh well - hearing that makes me feel a lot better at the laundry I shall be doing tonight - Not wanting to sound gloating at all, honest! but I'm glad we have a washing machine and don't have to iron everything as you do Annie!

Good to hear you got back home OK - now you can hang your Christmas decorations! :-) What will you guys be doing for Christmas? Any plans?

Take care, and know we are all thinking of you

Best Wishes

Steve

I did a bit of drooling in the appliance section of the big stores in Kampala!

No christmas decorations... we'll be in a cottage at Lake Bunyoni over the holidays. Several other volunteers will be nearby...so serious partying will be on the agenda. :-)
