Suprise and sightsing in Kampala city - A wonderful weekend !

The days at Miles 2 Smiles flies away, and after a busy but wonderful weekend we neither then have had much time to be lazy. As curious and adventurist Mzungus we’re still finding new and interesting things to fulfill and color our days in Uganda, and this weekend was no exception...

Finding time to study is not easy. Even though Friday is our study-day, where we are supposed to read books and write book-rapports we find it much more interesting to use our time to bake. Norwegian bread and “kanelsnurrer” was on the menu, and I have to admit; during some rounds of baking, me and Vegge have turned out as outstanding bakers ! 60 successfully “kanelsnurrer” turned out to be the result of this baking-days, and even though we (and me especially) have a really big appetite; this was a too big amount to enjoy ourselves ! Known as the surprising-team, Vegge and I therefore decided to travel around this evening and surprised our dear colleagues. We went to our colleagues living at the daycare-center and to our wonderful boss Katherine to give them a taste and our appreciation for their great piece of work at Miles 2 Smile, something they really deserves !

The children and the ladies got very happy and suprised. Our study-day couldn't have been exploited in a better way ! 

My wonderful team-mate Vegge and our great colleagues at Miles 2 Smiles. I'm lucky !

During this weekend we also went for a sightsing on bodaboda (a motorbike-type or something) to see the hole of Kampala on two wheels, got an introduction to the Ugandan nightlife and dancing “African-style”, and also see a Ugandan village. In other words we have had a super weekend, and until now I haven’t had much time to miss back home...

Even though we haven’t charged our batteries by being lazy, we’re more than ready for this new and existing week at Miles 2 Smiles with home-visits to some of the children, teaching ALONE in a class and of course be a aunty to this wonderful and energetic . Life is so far very, very great in Uganda. I’m very lucky to have such great people around me, and especially a big thank you to my great, great partner, boss and colleagues at Miles 2 Smiles for that !

Here is a movie from our adventure on the bodaboda. Enjoy !

PS ! Blog-post about this week at Miles 2 Smiles will be posted soon. Siba bulungi !
