A variable hodgepodge of vendors, touts, matatus and people greeted us at our stop near Odwina Market, and seemed to only get worse as we entered. Luckily, I found a sweet pair of American Eagle trekking pants for about $5, and we hastily retreated to the “nice” part of town, Garden Ridge, where the mall was. After walking through people traffic that was just as bad, if not worse than the famed traffic of Kampala itself, the crowds began to thin and we soon found ourselves at Garden Ridge mall.

Chris quickly found himself on the receiving end of some bad luck as his bank card was eaten up by the local ATM, so while he remedied that situation, Lyndi and I had lunch and roamed the mall. Afterward, Lyndi decided to head back to the hotel because Chris and I had decided to watch “Battle for LA” (or something like that) on the big screen at the local cinema. I would say the movie was good, but considering the video was out of focus and there was a black line across the entire top of the picture, I honestly couldn’t tell who won. But boy is that Aaron Eckhart dreamy.

Returning to the hostel, we met up with Lyndi again and enjoyed a couple rounds of free pool, along with some beers as well. Feeling that we had seen enough of Kampala, we decided to head out the next morning to Lake Bunyoni, and spend a couple of days on Uganda’s most beautiful lake. So the next morning, I woke up, snapped some quick photos of the resident pig (who is FAT by the way) and got chased by one of the local monkeys as I wandered too close to one of its babies.
