The trip home

Charles and I left at 6am and headed south to Kampala. The roads were clear for the first couople of hours and Charles was able to use the full width of the road and the 'pavements' to swerve back and forth to miss the pot holes.

We arrived on the outskirts of Kampala at 12 and it then took 2 hours to do the last ten miles. Traffic was gridlocked.

We got to Guiding Star school, which Gertrude runs. Gertrude showed us, with pride, the water tanks that she had had installed with a donation Cathy and I had been able to raise for her. Two tanks, one 10,000 litre the other 8,000 litres.

Then it was into Kampala again for a last meal together before off to the airport and my flight home.

The last photo - Charles who did a fantastic job of looking after me, Gertrude who is a fantastic person doing a huge amount of good work at her school and at the women's prison in Kampala. Gertrude's daughter is becoming a "chip off the old block" too.

Goodbyes were said - with the promise to meet again next year.
