as i told you last time my mother visited me. it was nice to have here here...and after a few days in zigoti wen went travelling, first to fort portal in the west, and then to jinja, in the east.

when my mum came she brought some dark bread and saussages from austria...it was so good...thanks again!!!

the pool where we stayed

 we stayed in a good hotel, even with a pool. amazing!! but wahat was even more amazign was to have a propper shower again...to shower with 2 hands (normally i need 1 hand to hold the bottle of water!)... so these things can make me happy these days!
i went travelling with my mother, and with gunter, who has been here before, buit was robbed and beaten up - and had to leave uganda. but he came back! so the 3 of us went to fort portal, and later to queen elisabeth national park, where we saw some of the african animals

matooke is transported on these old bikes...it is really hard work

we also saw some chimpanzees

the stairs are up there...!

a mosque in fort portal

on teh way back in the matatu, the collective taxi

me and my mother went afterwards to jinja, where the source of the nile is located

in the streets of jinja

again

and again

this is close to the source of river nile

this is the source

...right there!

the source is an outflow of lake victoria, but also some water is coming from the ground. here the river nile starts its more than 6000 km journey, and it takes tha water 90 days to arrive in teh mediterranian sea (mittelmeer, wie auch immer man das schreibt!)

here we wanted to see some waterfalls, but a new powerplant was built...with a damn, and so the waterfalls are flooded

some tourists commited suicied

in jinja

the alst step of the journey was entebbe, close to kampala, where the international airport is located. we stayed there on teh alst day, but besides a botanical garden there is nothing to see

inside the botanical garden...

thanks for visiting me mum! enjoy south africa...und viele gruesse rundum!

some palms

hope you are all doing well...todayi have to change the date of my flight home...i will let you know when i know the new date!
see you, take care sevi
