Yes, having spent 2 hectic weeks in the UK, I am now about to leave for Kampala in Uganda, a country that I have visited 3 times previously (between 2001-4) and that is OK! Given that it is surrounded by lots of rather unstable neighbours (e.g. Congo and Sudan) and is landlocked, it is doing ok for itself, although it seems that the economic growth is somewhat skewed towards Kampala. Still, it is a really beautiful, lush green country and the locals friendly and competent (although alas, like so many other places, it suffers from corruption and weak governance too).
This photo is of the Sipi Falls on Mount Elgon, near the Kenyan border. It was taken at sunset. Well worth a visit. There are lots of other places to see too in Uganda. (I hope I'll get a commission from all this free advertising on behalf of the Ugandan government!)
Next blog will be coming from Kampala - Inchallah!

I came across your blog site through Skype while I was doing a search for people (men) from Australia. I clicked onto your profile and saw that you had a blog page. I really enjoyed reading your blog and will be checking it out in the future. I don't travel a lot but I am very interested in hearing from people that do. Let's call it living vicariously through others.
