The route to Cassia Lodge - Kampala

The constant drifting from one location to another and meeting new people can sometimes mean you may be going in the same direction as someone else. This was the case when Ian (who helps out part time with the vols) was leaving our river Nile lodge around the same time and heading for Kampala also - stroke of luck and we shared a private hire taxi for the 3 hour ride to Cassia lodge. A bargain of a total price of 120,000 Ugandan Schillings or approx £30 split three ways.

Considering I was still feeling somewhat fragile from the night before this was a bit of a bonus.

We stopped in Lugazi at a Barclays cashline machine and made sure we had enough to pay the driver!

As we carried on towards Kampala we could see bicycles carrying anything from bananas to lumps of long grass... each to their own I suppose...

I saw this sign...which made me think... are they trying to put a positive spin on plastics???

We dropped Ian off at Kabalagala in Kampala and headed up to the creature comforts of Cassia Lodge - Absolutely stunning views from this hotel/lodge.

Each of the 20 rooms have a stunning view over Kampala and Lake Victoria. The accommodation is first class and so is the food - finally got my steak!

The restaurant has a balcony or you can sit inside and eat.

We chose to sit outside on the balcony and have dinner - this was sheer luxsherry compared to where we had just come from....

Nite nite from Cassia Lodge in Kampala...
