Day Seventeen: Friday 29.06.2012

I got up early and finished packing. We will be staying in Kampala 1 night, then I’ll have to show my handbag (the gift one – it has wooden beading) to customs in Australia, and I won’t want to do much unpacking, so I made sure it was all very carefully arranged with things I need near the top and washing all in the backpack and gifts all together, etc. I get home at 10:30PM and go to uni the next morning (leaving at 8:15AM for a 9:30AM class).

I said goodbye to Mary and Beth, then Esther, Anne, David and I prayed together. John came back from the Bushikori from off with a present from my beautiful Shamim, of avocado and passionfruit. I ate one passionfruit. I can’t take them home due to customs, so we will give the rest to Grace and Jerome, who don’t get much of these in Kampala.

The car ride was long. It rained a bit on the way, and some of the roads flooded, but we got through all right. We went back to the same hotel, even being given the same two rooms (though we swapped).

Being a Friday, the night was noisy, but I managed to sleep all right. I’ll sleep through pretty much anything after all of my health issues a few years ago.
