Another Month - Another Trip to East Africa

No sooner have we returned to England than Malcolm is off again. This time to Kisiizi Hospital in Uganda. Fortunately for the grandchildren (and dog) Irene is sensible enough to remain at home.

Malcolm will be assisting the Finance Department at the Hospital for 3 months while they recruit a new manager. The first part of the journey to Kisiizi took 24 hours so he needed a comfortable hotel to stay in Kampala. He decided to be a bit extravagant and pay a premium of over 10% to upgrade to a better single room. Some might regard a lack of a window to be a problem but as the hotel is in the middle of Kampala no window meant no noise from the street (there is reason to his madness). The room was clean, the bed comfortable and he paid extra for a good breakfast (£1.10).

The journey to Kisiizi was also surprisingly (for an African bus) comfortable with reclining seats and lots of leg room.

 

 

There were some things of interest to see at the half way stop.

 

 

 

At the hospital Malcolm has moved into one of the cottages, and luxuriates in the 2 rooms, bathroom and kitchen. Rumour has it that he won’t be doing too much in the latter!!!!

 

Malcolm quickly settled in and enjoyed an ‘al fresco’ meal with the staff at the Guest House.

 

Now all he needs to do is to start working!
