Crossing the line, don't scare the gecko

We've just eaten a delicious meal... Ordered on the bus for our first stopover meal. We're in Mbarara overnight having left Heathrow at 8.30 last night & travelled on 2 planes & a bus. We stopped at the equator... 

I asked for first impressions... 

Zaya: Being filmed! (We were greeted by Patrick & his children, one of whom filmed the whole joyous greeting.) 

Cathy: I loved seeing other people's way of life as we trundled along. It was fascinating. 

Janet: There was a real sense of joy with all the people we encountered. Even the lady selling us phone sims, named Jolly! 

Steve: what a relief that all our bags arrived. 

Clive: The heat when we stepped off the aeroplane. 

Ellie: Everyone seems happy and kids were waving to me as we passed in the bus. 

Barbara: I was overjoyed to see Patrick and David and get some great hugs. 

David:  He was very happy to have the seat at the front of the bus - he joined us after an overnight bus from Soroti. He thinks he's leading the team now... 

Tom met a  talapia... 

So we're here. We're fed, rested & ready for bed. Onwards to Rukungiri tomorrow.

Oh, & don't scare the geckos, they might drop their tail in your dinner.
