Jo Powell commented on Day 196-202: Fort Portal – Kibale

So many awesome photos! And so many awesome experiences! I will miss living vicariously through your journey through Africa. Europe will be dull in comparison, no big game, no very cute little girls in Sunday-best dresses, no chaotic traffic with horses, cows, bikes, motorbikes, cars and trucks sharing the road. Thanks so much for sharing.

When I've envisaged Uganda, it is never green and tropical. I've been surprised!

Hiking in clay type mud is the worst, though soft sand is a pretty close second. I've never tried cycling through either and don't ever want to try. Cobblestones will be your next challenge...

Watched like a hawk for 5 km, got a photo, then missed the rollover for the video 🤦

Need to be careful that you pack the parcels in the right delivery order!

So glad that you didn't miss it! I bet you had to watch it carefully.

Bitumen.
Definitely bitumen.
We can also be happy with: tar, asphalt, pitch, pavement or sealed.

Hard pack dirt is ok. But when it rains (and it does), it turns to baby poo and gets everywhere, sticks to everything.

Cath claims that sand is always bad. Doesn't matter what's at the end of the road.

Yes it was! And thanks for reminding Cath - that we do stay (occasionally) in nice places 😊

That certainly doesn't look like fun... Sand or mud, what would you prefer? Don't say bitumen 😉

What a stunning view from the villa balcony. That was definitely a win!

Love the little one in front ( in a banana yellow shirt and shorts) 😆

Riffing over how nice the view of the rift is.
Just trying to add some musical flair to the scenery.

It's better on the other side, but we didn't know that for several hundred kilometers. And most people probably never go there since it's that much further (too far?) from Nairobi.
