And the heavens opened as we left

Although technically 'the wet season' in Uganda, the rain has been remarkably absent - until this morning when the heavens opened. 

We woke to the sound of 'pitter patter' but quickly realised that it was actually 'cats and dogs' or given that we're in Uganda, 'lions and tigers'. 

On seeing the rain, we quickly set our minds to our drive down our narrow dirt access road en route to the airport - which becomes very slippery at even the hint of rain. 

Our fears were well-founded, as we nearly slid off the road and into the deep gutter. Praise the Lord we didn't and we arrived safely at Entebbe Airport in one piece - although I was feeling a little car sick! 

As I close this blog I thank the Lord for His provision to us over the past 20 days.  True to His nature, He was faithful throughout our time in Uganda. 

Thank you Uganda. We'll meet again. 

Thank you Lopez, or should I say Dell or Dale - you've been an amazing travel companion and I'll cherish our time together. I think we should do it again!
