Kampala

The builders of Entebbe Airport had the good sense to put it right on the shores of Lake Victoria. Much of the 45-minute ride into Kampala also went along the lake, which is beautiful next to lush green hills. The city is also very green and surprisingly pretty.

I took a little walk, trying to find an area my guide book promised would be filled with shops and restaurants, but didn't quite make it. The Sheraton Kampala is something of a fortress up on a hill, and by the time I got down the hill, the sun was threatening to set, and I was tired, so I headed back for room service. I'll explore later, when I'm less jet lagged.
