Red Chilli

The trip here was Loooooong. I got to Manchester airport and found out that my connecting flight from Detroit to Amsterdam had been cancelled. Crap. At first they said the would not be able to get me out until the 20th. But, God is good, and I was able to get a flight out the same night from Boston direct to Amsterdam. So I had a couple of extra hours in the U.S. and did not have to fly west to fly east. After an 8 hour flight I arrived in Europe and only had a 2 hour layover before I got right back on a plane for Entebbe. Everything went well and our good friend Bernie welcomed us at the airport. We crammed our 16 (yes, 16) bags into the van and headed to Red Chilli, an awesome hostel where we stayed the night. There were some strange night noises, but overall it was a great first night.
Today we drove around Kampala to exchange our money, get some cell minutes, eat, and finally make arrangements to get to Nimule. The greatest part is that we will be taking a private van and Bernie will be escorting us! No awful bus ride!
Right now we are just hanging around here until about 10 pm when we depart for Nimule. I can't wait.
It is difficult to describe just how amazing Africa truly is. It is in the sounds, smells, sights and most of all it is in the people.
See you in Nimule.
