Uganda 08 diary - Day 12: hiking, football + more
As it was a Saturday, we were able to spend more time with the local youngsters (who were in school Monday to Friday) and the Brothers. We ended up having a busy, fun-filled day. Bro. Adolf with some of the pupils. To start with, a group led by Bro. Adolf took us for a morning hike up one of the large nearby hills. And off we went... ... with the more "frisky" amongst us (inc. Bro. Francis!!) striding off at the front, leaving a trail of people half the way down the hill. A breather and photo call before being led up onto the ridge and down the other side into some VERY thick, thorny undergrowth. Spoil sport that I am, I called a halt to this decent down the otherside of the hill, asking our guides to take us back. We had already been hiking a good while, and the undergrowth was so thick that someone was bound to trip at one point, or encounter a snake or something. Plus we would have had to climb all the way back up. Anyway, no-one seemed to complain at my suggestion. Aaaaah...
