An afternoon on the train tracks

OK, so the last day in March, we decided we'd walk along the train tracks right to the end, to Port Bell, on Lake Victoria. Now, train tracks are rather different in Uganda than in the UK - there's no fences for one thing, no live rails, everyone just walks on them - they often provide a convenient link between one place and another...and the trains are slow and loud, so plenty of warning and no chance of getting run over! It took just over an hour to get to Port Bell, and was fun...met some friendly people, including some locals who invited us to join them in drinking waragi (local brew)...which we declined, seeing as Christians don't drink alcohol in Uganda...

Setting out...

Just Megan :o)

Fairly typical Ugandan houses...


Us girls, at Port Bell

A long way home

We met some girls on the way home, who'd been out collecting palm fronds for Palm Sunday, the next day. They walked with us a lot of the way home, and Leah took some photos as we parted company...

View of sunset taken just as we arrived at home. Port Bell can just be seen as the glimmer of blue water to the left of the palm tree...
