Hello again,
We are back in Masindi after our little trip to Murchison Falls.We had such a good time; when w arrived we went on a boat trip along the Nile up to the bottom of the Falls.We saw loads and loads of hippopotamuses and crocodiles, as well as some water-buck, buffaloes and various birds.
There were warthogs sunbathing all around the camp where we were staying, which were very funny, but one chased me when we tried to have a photo shoot with it and blew a fountain of snot in the air.Nice.Charlie nearly died laughing. We also saw quite a few baboons, which have really gross pink bottoms.This morning we set off on a game drive at first light.We saw a couple of elephants in the distance early on but didn't see any more after that, which was a shame.The other thing we didn't see was lions, but they are notoriously hard to spot.We did however see loads of giraffes and bush buck and buffaloes and a monkey, so it was still a good morning.The highlight off the trip was visiting the top of the waterfall though; it is HUGE and the water was gushing down with almighty power, I have never seen anything like it.
We got back to Masindi earlier this afternoon and we are staying in a different much nicer hotel this time because the last one was a bit grotty and very noisy so we didn't sleep much.We have been to a tailor and ordered traditional African outfits for ourselves, which should be delivered at 7pm to our hotel - I am very excited!
The other reeeeally exciting news that we got today is that Paddy's wife gave birth to a baby girl this morning at a hospital in Kampala, where we are going tomorrow, and we have been invited to go and see her.We bought some baby clothes to take as a present while we were shopping.Tomorrow night we will arrive at our final hotel, where we are staying until we come home.It will be nice to have a break after lots of moving around.
Righty ho, that is about all for today, see you all next week, although I imagine I will have a couple more chances to write before then? xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
