with a small propeller plane, we fly back to Entebbe, and save us as an 8-hour bus ride. We get on the flight even "missionary discount"! Missionaries are highly respected people there - probably different than in Germany.
From there it goes with the matatu to Kampala to Jinja, almost a "hotbed of tourism". But that raises all misconceptions. The city on the Nile attracts with its rapids of adventurers from around the world - to white-water rafting, bungee jumping, etc. So there are more white and more holiday accommodation than anywhere else in the country in Uganda, but we should not be still the Standard of European or North African destinations imagine. It begins with feeder roads. Our home is located 8 km outside, and no taxi in sight. Therefore, we are guided by three Ugandesen with Pikipiki persuaded to leave us chauffeured there. This must be a picture must have been: Three Motorcycles - and we back on it three whites who are trying to keep up with a heavy pack on his back and hand luggage in the arm balance, while our driver carelessly on the pitted Lehmweg then boarded and left behind a huge cloud of dust. It goes pretty far in the bush, with a ditch on the side, which we always come close to dangerous. I paint out already, as I am probably in a crash with a rucksack on his back can roll the best ...
But we arrive unscathed, and we note: Annika has once again done a stroke of luck when she booked our home. About a park maintained plant small roads lead to the individual cabins, and as we turn the corner, do join us on a magnificent panoramic widescreen view!
runs in the bottom of the Nile from far left to right, in the green, about the blue sky, pull on the majestic eagles and cormorants. What a sight! Only three meters away from our hut the steep slope begins down the Nile - without fence or other protection. Our accommodation is a partial brick house, nur die vordere Wand ist durch eine Zeltplane ersetzt, die tagsüber zurückgeschlagen ist. So hat man auch von den drei Betten aus die beste Aussicht. Mit im Raum - durch Vorhang abgeteilt WC und eine Dusche (mit Fensterausschnitt ohne Glas). Das ist Luxus, mal neu definiert! Die fantastische Aussicht macht alle anderen Mängel wie fehlende Sauberkeit und Ameisenstraßen am Kopfende des Bettes wett. 
Hier können wir uns endlich als Familie erholen, nachdem wir die letzten Tage mit vielen uns bis dahin fremden Menschen zugebracht hatten. So schön und interessant das war, jetzt sind wir dankbar, als Eltern die Gegenwart unsere Tochter uneingeschränkt zu genießen. Wir sind begeistert. We
lazy to photograph, Hartmut jumps sometimes spontaneously and in full gear in the pool, the outdoor lounge at the main house, we let ourselves go well with meals and watch the monkeys and birds in the trees all around.
English breakfast in Africa - so you can live! Once we go shopping or in Jinja, to visit a beautiful weaving, but otherwise we just enjoy the quiet and the view.
In the weaving much too fast the three days around - then we are on our way home. The departure of Annika I think once terribly difficult, although I know that in six months it for now will be for some time in Germany.
Bye, bye, Africa - we can meet you and your people know a little bit and has warmed our hearts for you. The very name is love there is not yet - but who knows? Certainly we have not been for the last time there ...
