			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I wrote a post. That&#8217;s due to 1; the lack of internet access and 2; I don&#8217;t want to spend time indoors in front of a computer when I can explore Africa or drink beer in the sun.</p>
<p>Anyways, now we are at a internet cafe in Uganda&#8217;s capital, <a title="Kampala @ Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Kampala,+Uganda&amp;sll=-0.335238,31.734079&amp;sspn=10.137949,14.128418&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Kampala,+Uganda&amp;ll=0.314269,32.572871&amp;spn=10.13797,14.128418&amp;z=6">Kampala</a>. We arrived in Uganda Thursday the 12th after a super nice stay in South Africa. We rented a car in Cape Town and traveled along the famous Garden Route towards our final destination, Port Elizabeth. Along the way we stayed in <a title="Struis Bay @ Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Struis+bay,+south+africa&amp;sll=-34.806756,20.063267&amp;sspn=0.032559,0.055189&amp;g=Struisbaai,+south+africa&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Struis+Bay,+South+Africa&amp;ll=-34.243595,22.406616&amp;spn=8.386722,14.128418&amp;z=6">Struis Bay</a> where we made a visit to the southern most point of Africa. In <a title="Plettenberg Bay @ Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;q=Plettenberg+Bay,+South+Africa&amp;sll=-34.243595,22.406616&amp;sspn=8.386722,14.128418&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;cd=1&amp;geocode=FdZT-P0dQKFkAQ&amp;split=0&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Plettenberg+Bay,+South+Africa&amp;ll=-34.064037,23.37204&amp;spn=8.404737,14.128418&amp;z=6">Plettenberg Bay</a> (aka &#8220;Plett&#8221;), a super nice little town where we surfed, spotted whales, went hiking and chilled out with big cats like cheetahs and leopards. Unfortunately we didn&#8217;t (bungy) jump of any bridge as planned. It was very expensive, plus  we had been up really early surfing for hours, so we didn&#8217;t really feel like it. Our final stop was <a title="Port Elizabeth @ Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Port+Elizabeth,+South+Africa&amp;sll=-34.064037,23.37204&amp;sspn=8.404737,14.128418&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Port+Elizabeth,+South+Africa&amp;ll=-33.979809,22.587891&amp;spn=8.413727,14.128418&amp;z=6">Port Elizabeth</a> before leaving South Africa for Uganda.</p>
<p>In Uganda I have been to Kampala and the town where Maria lives, <a title="Masaka @ Google Maps" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=Masaka,+Uganda&amp;sll=-33.979809,22.587891&amp;sspn=8.413727,14.128418&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=Masaka,+Uganda&amp;ll=-0.335238,31.734079&amp;spn=10.137949,14.128418&amp;z=6">Masaka</a>. It&#8217;s a small, nice town in the countryside. Maria and here buddy&#8217;s live in a big house on the top of a hill with a great view over the valley where the town is located. The house is located on a big nice lot with lots of greens and wildlife in and around.</p>
<p>Uganda is a very poor country and the feeling is a little bit like being at a big music festival like the one in Roskilde. It&#8217;s dirty, people everywhere just walking/hanging around, small shed shops and fire smoke in the air (not as many drunk people though). The car pollution, the roads and the traffic is <strong>very </strong>bad! But it&#8217;s a nice very green country.</p>
<p>Tomorrow we will be off on our whitewater rafting adventure. After that it&#8217;s safari and then Zanzibar. I&#8217;m really locking forward to it!</p>
<p>I will probably not be able to upload any photos until I find a Wi-Fi (which is pretty rare) or I get home :(</p>
