19 July - en route to Lira




We checked out and proceeded at 9am with our 13+ hour that was supposed to take 5 hours trip to Lira. You don't want the details. The last major mishap occurred because our driver decided to take a "short cut." It was a rough dirt road in a car that couldn't take it. We bottomed out on a major bump and had to "crawl" into a tiny village at about 5 mph where we ended up waiting for five hours (could've made it to Lira again in that time), first to repair the car (it didn't happen). Then for another car to get us and continue the journey. We arrived in Lira after 10pm, exhausted. fortunately, Martin's smiling face was at the Pan Afric Hotel to greet us. The staff were kind enough to feed us a late dinner. Martin has been doing so much work to make everything run smoothly.

So crash to bed for a full day tomorrow.
