Rough and smooth landing in Uganda 21st August



This is the police report of the theft of important documents from our car in a shopping mall under the nose of a security guard. Passports, driving licenses; credit cards; and Dave’s original medical certificates, and a few others things were taken.

After the initial shock and self pity, we realized that everything is replaceable, except for the certificates, and that really we should be more careful in a 20 years old car with wobbly locks. We were also reminded of the forces of evil that turn a fine person into a wicked cruel one.,

The smooth landing is the many delightful gracious Ugandans who have helped us in our difficulties. Also we are thrilled with the fine Toyota Landcruiser we have been loaned. Tomorrow we drive the 300 miles from Kampala to the Western border of Uganda.
