Leaving Gulu

Last night was our final night in Gulu. Mac, the new proprietor of Fugly’s (formerly Bambu) had a special dinner for us, which was really nice. We were able to all eat together, hang out and dance. Ob and Apolo were able to join us, making the night that much more special.
We left Gulu this morning for the last leg of our journey. We were supposed to leave Gulu at 8:00 am, but in typical Acoli fashion, we did not end up leaving until 9:45 am. Our goal was to stop in Kampala at the craft market one more time on our way to Jinja for white water rafting on the Nile. The drive was long; they have added new speed bumps to the road to Kampala, and there were speed bumps about every 20 feet for a couple of miles. The most ridiculous aspect of it was that it was not near any town; just in the middle of nowhere. Why would you need to slow down there?
We had to stop for a short call about half way through the trip. The girls went to one side and the boys to the other. We realized that we were very close to the road, so we girls created a barrier so people from the road would not be able to see us. As we started to go, about 4 children came walking out of the bush the other way curious about the munos. It was very awkward and yet hysterical at the same time. We finally made it to Jinja and the Adrift place where we are staying in tents. We bungee jump and raft tomorrow!!!
