So i tried to upload some pictures but it was taking way to long so i uploaded them on facebook instead so for those of you who are reading who are friends with me on facebook you can check them out - (i will upload more onto here when i get home but its just to difficult and time consuming to do from out here).
So i'm currently in Jinja just got back from staying with a friend who's living out in Kamuli in a village 1 hr into the middle of nowhere. I stayed with him in a traditional village home which is basically mud and bricks with a straw roof. No electricity, no running water, no nothing really but i loved it! Last night we went down to The Nile and sat and watched the sun set, not as good as it could of been as it was cloudy, bit it was still an experience watching the fishermen return from a day out on the river and watching the kids collecting water in their jerry cans. Again ive got pics and videos but will have to wait to upload them. We bought fish and chapati from the local trading centre (which is basically a group of huts and shacks that sell essentials) and the Ugandan girls cooked the fish for us on the camp fire and it was delicious. For 7 large fresh fish it only cost around 1pound 50p!! The hut we stayed in was so cool (temperature wise) compared to my bedroom at the apartments in Iganga, kinda wish i'd been placed there the whole time now, even ifi am absolutely filthy so much so that i look like i've been stuck up a chimney, it would be worth being filthy all week to stay in a place like that.
So we're now winding down from work leading up to us leaving in 1 1/2 weeks, i cannot believe how fast the 3 months have gone, at the same time i feel like i've been here forever!
Theres not that much more for me to say really, i'm sure i'll have alot more to tell when i get home and start going through all the pictures i have taken.
