Today’s drive day is not a long one but there are a few obstacles. The first and worst of the day is the Kampala traffic and that is one that is never enjoyed. The next are more enjoyable, especially for women who like shopping as our first stop is at a local drum market. We have to impose a time limit or negotiations can last too long. Next stop is at the Equator and here we learn (or are fooled) about the effect the earth’s spin has on the way water moves down a drain. We feast on local muffins and guacamole and chips for lunch.
The rest of the drive day is taken up by extremes in the back of the truck, especially with the tarps up. Extreme reading, trying to read and keep the pages of the book from flapping. Extreme hairstyles this is just amusing. The most exciting is however extreme cards, trying to play a card game and having the same amount of cards in the pack at the end of the day as there was in the beginning of the day. All these activities make the miles roll by.
Chain of Shame was worn by Carolyn.
Tip of the day: You cannot expect to have a hairstyle in Africa. Why do you think the locals have short hair?
