Kampala has two extremes living side by side. The wealth in this country is phenominal. The new buildings springing up are out of this world. I mean, even our guest house has a bathroom better than ours back home!

| Look at the fancy gold decor to the toilet!! |
The room in which we are staying in has a huge balcony that overlooks the surrounding community. When yo uwalk out onto the balcony reality hits you that you are in the heart of Africa. Our lovely hotel is smack bang in the middle of a small village. The community is mainly based on rock mining. Just outside our walls, people are living on basics.

Sitting in our room and the electricty cuts out. A small, gentle reminder that yes, this is indeed Africa. It's a tiny obstacle when those around you are facing huge hurdles to simply survive.

Sometimes, we all sure do forget just how blessed we are!
