Hello from Kampala!

We are slowly discovering new technology and thought we'd try and set up a blog so we can post photos and give you a few more updates in between our regular newsletters.

This is Sipi Falls on Mount Elgon - a truly beautiful and breathtaking place. We stayed in the eco-friendly lodge that you can just about see to the right of the falls. From there were spectacular views all down the Sipi valley to the plains of north and eastern Uganda.

A memorable moment was sitting on the terrace and watching a huge thunderstorm brewing way into the distance, followed by an immense downpour and both fork and sheet lightning - very dramatic. It's at those times that you can feel very small, insignificant and fragile in light of the power of nature!

Here is Ruth doing a flying leap off a rope swing into Lake Bunyonyi, down in the south west of Uganda, where we took some other friends who visited us recently. I'd like to have waved for the camera but I was too scared!
