Birthday, malaria and troublesome toilet - Suprise-visit to Mbale !

After work on Thursday Vegge and I went for a spontaneous trip to Mbale visiting HannaCharlotte and Benedicte. I really like our offhanded way of living here in Uganda: We talked about Benedictes birthday right before we fell to sleep Wednesday night, and the next day we were ready for Mbale. The two girls had no idea that we planned to knock on their door and sing the birthday-song the same evening, but our plan turned out differently than we first expected... When we arrived, one of their neighbours told us that they weren’t home but at the hospital since Hanna Charlotte had gotten malaria. With good help from their friendly neighbours we found out which hospital the girls stayed at, and our plan got successful after some few complications. Mission completed: They got very surprised when we showed up !

Although we spent a lot of the time at the hospital to cure the patient we had a very cozy and relaxing time together in Mbale; watching movies, making pancakes and cookies in their apartment. One of the biggest happening from this weekend was although created in connection to their charming toilet: A hole in the ground in trouble with the toilet paper. We have after this episode learnt to not put too much toiletpaper in the Ugandan toilets, for sure. Here is a movie from this memorable moment - See, learn and enjoy !
