We set the alarms this morning and were up shortly after 8:00. We made it down for breakfast a little after 9:00. At 10:00 we were met by Lydia, from Classic Africa Safaris (our Uganda tour organizer) and we had a nice visit with her. She went over all of the details of the itinerary so we would know what to expect. Very organized.
We spent much of the rest of the day in the hotel room,
resting and organizing and such. Our
hotel is right on Lake Victoria and we have a great view of the waterfront and
the lake.
In the late afternoon we took a stroll around the grounds just to get some fresh air and sunlight.
There was a cattle egret wandering around with us.
We saw some Egyptian Geese…very colorful.
We also saw several Marabou storks. They are the unofficial national bird of Uganda and they certainly thought they had the run of the grounds…particularly around the eating areas.
We accidently left the balcony light on and it attracted
millions of bugs. And the slider doesn’t
close well so there was a bit of a gap at the bottom. So we went on a mini-bug safari this evening. We caught 3 big bugs using the two cups and a
glass we had in the room. Couldn’t take
them outside because of the mass of bugs out there. So, they will go out tomorrow morning.
