Ruboni Community Camp

This is a banda at the Ruboni Community camp, we stayed in this one and there are several bandas, safari tents and a camp ground. The view from the restaurant is amazing and you can go on walks in the RDF community land on the edge of the national park.

Market

This is a photo of of the market in Mubende between Fort Portal and Kampala. The fruit and veg are amazing especially the advocado. This is a popular stop on the bus for a bit of food and rest.

It's all drawing to a close, now all I have to do is write!

Its been a briiliant week, I collected Mum and Dad from the Airport last Thursday and drove all the way back to Fort Portal that day. From there we went on a game drive and launch trip in Queen Elizabeth National Park, stayed in a Banda in the foothills of the Rwenzori's and a treehouse in the middle of Kibale Forest National Park, where we saw dozens of monkeys. At Mweya we saw many elephants, hippos, birds, water buffalo and gazelles.

It has been very busy driving ourselves around and we have had an amazing time. I have just seen them off on the bus to Mombasa for a week on the beach. I am back in Kampala doing some final packing and sorting out before catching a plane this evening.

Now all I can think about is getting back and writing and packing my house up. It is going to be a busy few weeks and I am totally focused on that 20th September hand in date! Don't worry Judith- I am also coming to your wedding and am very excited!

Rushing Round Fort Portal

Well it has been a very busy week, after getting the bus (which took even longer than normal) to Fort Portal on Tuesday. I have been rushing around meeting people for research and other meetings for RDF work. On Thursday, Rogers and I visited lots of the schools we have been working with took some video footage of the buildings we had built and other things like books that RDF had donated. The plan is too edit the footage and put it on the website for you all too see. In the last few days, I have been transcribing the interviews and pulling all my thoughts together. Yesterday I started pulling all the various parts of my dissertation together into one document which felt good and adding more.
Today I have a meeting with Rogers at the office to go through all the new financial procedures we have designed and have a major catch-up with Gorretti over accounts etc. I only have a few more days before Mum and Dad get here, in which I plan to try and sort the new office space out and pull my research together as the next time I look at it will be when I get home!
