We had our first border crossing today. There is one highway that goes through and there were trucks galore, pedestrians, motorbikes and general chaos. First was checking out of Kenya - we all had to do that individually as our fingerprints had to be redone for both hands. Back on the truck and driven the 300 metres to the Ugandan passport control. As Tessa & I both have East African visas which covers Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda so we didn't have to pay anything. Kanyo collected all our passports and was able to get us all stamped in one go. Meanwhile a money changer joined us on the truck so we could get some Ugandan Shillings.

We were through by 1130 - the total event took about an hour. People we dealt with were friendly.

We arrived in Jinja at 1500 hours where a number of people took time to get money from the ATM and unwittingly became millionaires!

The campsite we are in for the next 4 nights overlooks a lake which is fed by the Blue Nile. It is beautiful. Sitting here this evening drinking shandy I watched an eagle fly overhead. A moment of bliss.
