Holidays in Uganda!

Lake Buyoni near the Rwandan border. We camped on on of the islands and got there with a canoo


 As usual, women doing the hard work



We drove through the only national park that has 'tree climbing lions'. Didn't know a lion could be so comfi up there!

Go on a boat safari with an antropologist and the one thing he wants is: talk to the people from the fishing village:-)

Ugandan beer. You gotta try the local stuff... (or at least the men do)

Not too bad either: a warm fanta at a local village bar after a long walk along crater lakes and maize fields.    
Waiting for the matutu bus back to town
In Rwanda it's not allowed to sell stuff on the street. In Uganda it sure is!

Crazy Kampala. How to get as many taxibuses as possible in the smallest taxi park with the most people!

A bit of wildlife in the city
Congestion congestion in Kampala. This makes Kigali a traffic-paradise!

RED RICE

Posted by Mikkel
Its often the small things that surprise the most. Our "Henk" - the young guy who cleans, cooks, washes and irons for us - is going to a school which also involves a weekly all-day cooking class. His English is far from perfect, but every wednesday evening we discuss what he has learned to make and when I will get a chance to taste it. "Testing" we call it. This wednesday Henk seemed more exited than usual. He had learned to make RED RICE! "Very good" I was told. He was going to test it out the day after. But I had a dinner meeting and missed the experimental RED RICE meal. In the morning Henk insisted that I would bring the leftovers for lunch. His enthusiasm made me curious what it actually was, how you make RED RICE? "Food colour". Thats it! Velbekomme.
