Easter break


The albertine rift, extending from the north of Uganda through Rwanda and all sorts of other bits.The drive from Kampala is about six hours, four to Fort Portal (General Portal not a gateway) then two down the escarpment ;186 hairpin bends, ok as long as you don't meet a lorry coming the other way.What you do meet are Toyota Corrolla's with twelve passengers and pickups loaded with stuff and stacked high with people,or is it loaded with people and stacked high with stuff (matooke grain goats water fuel all at once). In the far distance you can see the Ssemliki Plateau and rainforest, where we are heading. Lovely walk but sadly the chimps had left their nests, probably because it was raining!
