Blog, #2: Arrival in Kampala [Uganda.18]

We are settled into our hotel now, which is great. A couple interesting things about the flight:

When we arrived in Nairobi last night, after a short stop and refueling, and right before takeoff, the stewardesses announced that they'd be spraying the plane (and that it was entirely safe) then they walked along each aisle with a can of spray in each hand, adding something (probably a bug killer) to the plane. The guy in front of me held his jacket above his mouth the whole time.

The bus ride from the airport to the hotel was about an hour ride and, though I had heard it might be somewhat risky, it went without a hitch. There were pretty much no lights on the road, so the working headlights really helped.
