Weekend update


On Saturday, a big group of students got crammed in to a "matatu" (a local taxi, hop on hop off service, with room for many people) and went to Entebbe. This is a city outside Kampala that hosts the airport and is located beautifully next to Lake Victoria. 

First we spent some time at the beach, followed by a short "boda boda" ride to Entebbe Wildlife Education Center (check it out: http://www.uweczoo.org/) and saw many many different animals. Among them the elephant Charles, wild monkeys running around, giraffes, zebras, peacocks, chimps, snakes, you name it. 

We ended the trip by having a nice dinner at a big restaurant, with the view of Lake Victoria (unfortunately too dark to see anything), and then we took taxi home. 

A great Saturday, for sure, just check out the following pictures:
