Had amazing day in Kampala today being taxied around through the chaos of what seemed like no road rules and every man for himself. Had the opportunity to meet with Dr Ian Clark a GP who has had many years experience working with the people of Africa and establishing effective health care. He was very helpful in giving constructive advice and encouragement to Andrew that will be very useful to take to Kitgum and future developments for the people there. Andrew was also able to obtain his registration today , that being a miracle in itself. We were told to come back at 4 o'clock and it would be ready and what do you know!!! One minute to 4.00 it was done. Unheard of in this country... So now he is all set ready to go. We went to a food court for lunch no sooner had we walked in and started to have a look at what we were going to have when you are confronted by a person from every shop in the food court with a menu trying to get you to buy their food. Once you sort through this and decide you get waited on like you are in a restaurant they take your order for the food and drinks then bring it to you. You can't get this service at the Carindale food court!! Us boys are loving this, also the lovely lady we are with.
