Internet connections

in deepest Uganda are VERY SLOW, so there is no hope of photos being uploaded until we return to Kampala next Monday/Tuesday. We are having some excitement e.g. Hippo and Lion in the headlights of the truck as we passed through Queen Elizabeth National Park after dark (after 13 hours on the road), amazing birdlife and hippos very close etc. tracking chimpanzees in a forested gorge (successfully!), getting the truck stuck in the mud for three hours after a night of torrential rain. Very disappointed with the weather which is really cloudy and cool. No chance of sunburn at all! Heading for the Rwandan border crossing in an hour or so from now, and gorilla tracking on Saturday, but Claire has a terrible cold at present which we hope will abate by then or she will not be allowed to go near them. That's all for now. Toinette and Claire
