We finally got a chance to sleep in. It was a good sleep last night….. in a real bed.

We are to be picked up at 10 (was a half hour late) to go to the airport for a flight to Entebbe at 2:15pm.

If you think security is tight all over the world….. this place takes the cake. You get out the vehicle a few kms before the airport and walk with your carry-on through a building with security then get back in the vehicle on the other side and then drive another couple of kilometres. Once at the airport you have to show ticket and passport just to get through the door. Once through the door it’s bags and luggage through the X-ray machines, then to check-in counter with your bags. There you have to show passport, visa & tell them what flights you are on to leave and when we are to leave Kigali (Rwanda). Then through another checkpoint and then another X-ray machine, taking off shoes, jackets, watches and iPads (which recently I have not had to do) but… I had a small sealed bottle of water that got through. Surprise, surprise.

Only about one’s hour flight to get to Entebbe. Believe it or not they offered drinks and food ….for free.

We have noticed that the majority of women have their hair braided in corn rows ….with what I think are hair extensions of different colours. Beautiful!!

No gas when driver went into a gas station to get some so off to find one that does.

Huge market on the street with second hand clothes

Finished ditches, even frontage road along main are paved

Idi Amin-1971-79…. Very good plan development. No corruption in his time cuz he killed anyone not abiding by his rules.

Lots of military personnel on the streets today. At one point we witnessed a motorcade of the president….. travelling between his home and parliament. By the way he has been in power for something like 40 years.
