Dodgy roads and beautiful birds

Sunday 6th March
This weekend has seen me driving in East Africa for the first time in 26 years! Robert the surgeon very kindly loaned us his car for the weekend. We came back to Kagando through Katwe which allowed us again to pass through the game park. There were some amazing animals but more especially the birds and it was great just to stop and wait and watch things without any need to rush on. The second part of the journey from Katwe was along a dirt road which after some heavy rain this morning was interesting in a saloon car without 4 wheel drive but we made it OK (Ann says just!!)
The food where we were staying was excellent. We were particularly entertained last night when it was announced that the vegetatrian option instead of pork chops was chicken!!
The Lyths have arrived back after a month in the UK so it will be good to catch up with them over supper this evening.
I think we have both enjoyed our time here very much and hope we have been able to contribute in some small way while we have been here.
