Photo test!

Although he has nothing to do with my Uganda time (apart from the obvious emotional support), this is my cute little nephew. I assume his parents don't mind his internet presence as he already has more online photos than me anyway. Keep learning my 'special song' little fella.

Marianne is over in Uganda working busily away at various projects. Hopefully she can fit me in every month or two for a catch up!! This post is a bit of photo experimentation. If only all online photos conformed to such high standards (apart from the inclusion of my mug obviously.)


Final stages of packing my bags now, heading back to Melbourne tomorrow to catch up with a few friends before I leave. A couple of weeks at home has proven excellent and a much needed refreshing break after finally finishing uni (and 17 years of consecutive study.)

Lets get this show on the road.

Well with just over a week til I fly out, I thought I might get a headstart on my Uganda Blog.

I've bought everything I think I need and probably haven't brought the things I need but don't know about!!

Apart from that, I have around 30 hours flying time on the way there with a couple of hours changeover at Kuala Lumpur and Amsterdam. They are the only stops until arriving direct in Entebbe, Uganda. Entebbe has the national airport, but isn't too far away from Kampala the capital.

I'll be staying in Entebbe overnight on arrival. We will then pick up two other interns the following day before travelling to Kampala, where I will be based. We then go straight into an orientation program, 6 days have been squeezed into 4 so that will be pretty intense!!

I only stay in Kampala those 4 days before heading over to Kenya for my project trip for a few weeks, before coming back to Uganda in early Feb.

I'll need to taste it before I really have a good grasp of my daily work, but a few past /continuing interns have been helpful to give me some good expectations.

Anyway, enough for now, I fly out Monday 15th, and arrive the evening of the 16th, losing 8 hours somewhere in transit. I'll try to post any pictures I get,
I don't have a camera, but hopefully will be able to nab some off other interns every so often.
