A good day out

Saturday November 6th
After a quick round on male ward the rest of the day was free and an opportunity to travel around a little. First of all there was a trip with 2 others in a private hire to Kasese the nearest large town 40km away. Quite a squash (8 in the car at one stage) and shock absorbers which had long since worn out! There we met up with Robert the surgeon who had been in earlier to the bank and had then had to make a police statement because his phone had been taken! Once that had been sorted out we went to a beautiful spot called Kingfisher lodge which has a superb panoramic view over the Ishasha Plains. The tilapia and chips were good again and we had an enjoyable if rather wet afternoon. On the way back a number of Elephants were spotted along with Uganda kobs and Waterbuck so all in all a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.

The amazing view across the Ishasha Plains from the terrace at Kingfisher. Very green at the moment due to the rains.
