Murchison Falls Game Park

Jan 20th

Game park yesterday. Spent the night at a lodge in the park. Tons of lizards, I swear the king of lizards was on the tin roof above my shower along with all his friends and cousins. Fastest shower in history. Crazy, it is the dry season so the lizards are out in full force. Got up early, ate a real breakfast of scrambled eggs and fresh fruit at 5:30am. They also had corn flakes. The 2 farm boys that we brought with us had no idea what they were or how to eat them. It was pretty funny. Dennis (one of the boys) asked Stu if he had any of the really good honey. He was eating the maple syrup. Things we take for granted.
Yesterday we went up the Nile (river) on a boat and saw tons of crockadiles, hippos, all kinds of birds, elephants, then at top got off and hiked up to Murchison falls. A really good work out. It was awesome -got some really good pictures. Today we took bus across the Nile on a ferry and toured other side of game park. Saw two lions. It’s not fine to go off road but Roger, our driver, just took off across the grass, shrubs, bumps and drove almost right up to them. They were stalking a little deer of some sort. Took pictures then had to hurry to get back on road. Now headed to Gulu, then another 2 hrs till Kitgum. Lucy, a nursing student that I met in Kolongo 2 yrs ago is now working in Kitgum. She is waiting for me to get there. Pretty exciting. 3 orphanages and 2 gardens to do tomorrow. Will probably stay in Kitgum 2 nights, then go to Kolongo. Didn't have cell service yest or earlier today may not have it for next 4 days so will email as I can. Great team everyone is compatible. So far terrific time. Hot dry and dusty. Never been so dirty, but we all look alike so it’s all good. Love and kisses to all xxooxxoo
