.....to Uganda




26 of October...i'm flying headed to Konstantinoulopis aka Istanbul with Turkish airlines. I had to wait for almost 3 hours there to take the first flight to Entebbe airport of Uganda.27 of October.6 in the morning. We were landing through a storm at Entebbe airport. I saw many UN aircraft parked around.I took my baggage then fill out the visa form and then payed 50 USD to take my visa. I was in Uganda for real.Someone supposed to waiting for me but...nothing...none.Some guys from other NGOs had already picked up. I was left alone.I start chatting with a taxi driver and he told me not to worry about. Half an hour later was my turn. I climbed into the Land Cruiser heading to Kampala, the capital of Uganda. I stopped to exchange some dollars to shillings and to buy a brand new SIM card for my phone."Now i've got my Ugandian cell phone number on MTN network"...to be continued

.......









...it's just a beautiful country. Totally green. With nice and very warm people.
You have to visit Uganda.
Kampala is the capital. Here, people driving like crazy. I used to say that Greeks are driving like lunatics but you have to see what's going on here. Only from Edebbe airport to Kampala i saw a car accident and few minutes later a motorbike accident. Beyond this it's perfect. I also ate very good Indian food ...yes in Uganda.
Now i'm ready to go north west of the country ....so see you around.
