Uganda Trip-13

As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, on Tuesday morning, April 8, we headed back to Entebbe Airport. After we crossed the Victoria Nile we drove by the top of Murchison Falls so we stopped to get a closer look and take some pictures. The falls drops about 140 feet and it is only 22 feet wide at its narrowest point--it really is impressive and beautiful. It was sunny day so there w have included several pictures of the falls and of the rainbow.

I have included a couple of pictures of the falls and of the rainbow.


Murchison Falls, by the way, is named after the head of the British National Geographic Society who lived in the mid-nineteenth century.
Here is one of the last pictures that I took--it is of the group including our two drivers, Santos and Jarred; Christine, our World Vision Uganda host; and Evelyn, a schoolmate she met unexpectedly at Paraa Lodge and who caught a ride back to Kampala with us. Ellen, the free lance photographer who was in our group is taking the picture.


The drive back to Entebbe Airport was about seven hours of which the first four hours were on dirt roads. It is quite exhausting to travel far bouncing around in the vehicles--our drivers were "pushing the envelope" in terms of speed at times. But we arrived safely to a hotel near the airport where we were able to shower, have dinner, and then head out for Entebbe.
