Had an intersting Matatu ride back from the shops - talk about pimp my van - biggest woofer going and a video in the back - great fun!...

OK, just adding notes as dont have time to do this and the connection is so slow so will update later!! - spent 3 days at Lake Bunyoni - beautiful campsite overlooking the lake in the Kigezi highlands, went out in a dug out canoe (mokoro) with Hatti, Aimee and Richard, got some washing done and tried to acclimatise to the altitude 2200m above sea level before the Gorilla trekking.
