We left our house at noon on Saturday (after kissing goodbye to Darwin, Lucy, Spike and Phoenix) and drove to Newark Airport. Our flight for Amsterdam left on time and we arrived approximately six hours later, which was 5:00 am Netherlands time. We spent about four boring hours in the Amsterdam airport before boarding our flight for Entebbe, Uganda. Amazingly this flight left on time too and about seven hours later we landed in Uganda. It was approximately ten pm Uganda time, or 2 in the afternoon on Sunday home time for a total travel time of about 26 hours. Ugh. All in all, things went smoothly and it was an easy (but long) trip.
Upon arrival, we paid for our visa, got our bags, passed though customs and met our guide, Stephen. Unlike our prior adventures where we had multiple different guides, Stephen will be with us the entire time. The only ATM at the airport did not work so we will need to find another (which may be challenging). Then, we drove about 15 minutes to our hotel, the Victoria Lake hotel, which is clean. Being that it is after dark and we are tired from traveling, I don’t have too much else to say about the hotel or Entebbe. Taking a shower always feels very good after a long trip!
Tomorrow, we wake up early (as seems to be a theme on our trips) and we are off!
