Have finally arrived, sun is setting and birds are tweeting.  The journey from the airport although long was quite eventful.  Kampala is a bit manic cars everywhere and no apparent rules of the road (the driver laughed when I asked him about this) only saw one crash though - not bad considering!  Saw some great scenery on the way over, luscious green valleys and hills, there were lots of towns along the roadside and the odd escapee cow (one nearly had a bloody end). The hills gave way to flatter plateau further east with lots of sugar cane, some tea plantations, rice paddies, papyrus fields and more -such a variety.  We apparently had a near miss with a crocodile at one point (i'm reading lizard rather than croc), unfortunately I'd snoozed off behind my sunglasses - whilst trying to appear alert - and missed this.  Bit of a shame.  Had a bit of a treat when we passed over the source of the Nile at Jinja, I knew the journey was nearly at an end when we turned a corner on the plataeau and suddenly Mount Elgon loomed up in the distance- beautiful. 
Arrived at the hospital to find that Channel 4 are here filming for a few days as part of their Unreported World series. 
Have had a whistle stop tour - loads of really friendly people and loads of names to remember.
Had a quick whizz around Mbale town and am now ready for a snooze......
