Entebbe

Whilst Annie was enjoying Florence Nightingale day, Nicola and I spent the day in Entebbe before flying back to England.
Entebbe is a delightful place, the old colonial headquarters for Uganda. It is still green and leafy with bungalows amid large plots and rather faded grand old hotels with Government House on top of the hill.

The highlight is the splendid Botanical gardens with palms soaring in to the sky and the largest bougainvillea I have ever seen.
There is a special part left untouched, about 200 yards wide, that is pure tropical rainforest and is apparently used for a number of Tarzan films.

(I had hoped to add photos but two of the cybercafes are not handling photos and the other has no connection! Things may change but don't hold your breath.)
