Packing up was a bit of a chore this morning as Trevor had been up most of the night with a dreaded lurgy of some description. Eventually though, we made it away from Masaka for the slog to Lake Bunyonyi. As he wasn't feeling up to scratch, I drove for the first 4 hours and actually really enjoyed the stint behind the wheel for a change. The road was mostly under construction so I had to be content with either navigating around potholes or navigating between the old road and the new.
In Kampala, we had initially thought that we would go to Fort Portal and Queen Elizabeth National Park (to see tree climbing lions) but because of the chaos of traffic in Kampala, we decided to make our way down to Lake Bunyonyi first so that we could clear our heads and also to give Trevor time to recover without having to tour through a park feeling rotten. We thought, of course, that we would probably bump into Anja and Jorg because this had been their first destination since we split up only yesterday - and this is exactly what happened. As we pulled up into the site, we bumped into Anja at reception just paying for her internet access - I swear, guys, we were not shadowing you!!!!!
We found a spot by the lakeside and met Stuart, Fiver and Merrill travelling in a white landie (gotta be good people!!) but going South to North from South Africa to Germany. After a quick supper that night we retired to bed early with Trevor really not feeling well and left Anja and Jorg to catch up with Stuart and Fiver to swap stories of good and bad campsites, roads and cities on their respective routes.
