Yesterday we spent our last two hours in Muko in the morning. We had a meeting to discuss what we accomplished during the week and tied down any loose ends. Then 13 of us (the five team members, Christopher, Charles and the Turinawe's) loaded up into the van and headed off to Queen Elizabeth National Park.
The drive to the park was mountainous as was most of Muko. However, once we approached the park the terrain flattened suddenly becoming the savanna. Baboons welcomed us to the park. We had a dinner at our lodge (Simba Safari) before going to bed early. We got up for our 6:30 safari tour which lasted three hours. We saw hippos, elephants and many other native animals. We then had a brunch before departing for Kampala. We arrived and visited a friend of Generous's to look at more fabric then went to dinner at an Italian restaurant.
Tomorrow we will be doing lots of packing. We also hope to visit Father Bruno in the hospital. I met him when he came to Midland and Alma with Charles. We will then say goodbye to our Uganda friends before departing on our 1:45 AM flight (not a typo). We will land in Amsterdam and have a six hour layover before arriving in Detroit at 5:00 PM Eastern on Monday. This will be my last post before arriving back in America. It was a great trip and I learned a lot and cannot wait to share it with people.
What an experience you had. A very meaningful trip and you accomplished a lot in a short time.
ReplyDeleteGood for you and the whole team.
