While I was in South Province I experienced Umuganda, the name for the activities on the last Saturday of every month of the year
Departing from Kigali was rather interesting. We walked out onto the tarmack board our plane to Entebbe, Uganda in beautiful hot sunshine. Within 5 minutes of boarding we were engulfed in a terrific thunderstorm and downpour. I looked out the window to see volumous amounts of water flowing past us on the tarmack...I actually thought the plane was moving until the captain told us that we would have to wait out the thunderstorm which then lasted about another thirty minutes.
Landing in Entebbe, Uganda is a real treat to see the expanse of Lake Victoria. It is so huge and of course is also the source of the Nile River.
The rest of my journey home was quite uneventful; from Entebbe to Addis Babba to Frankfurt and finally Toronto in approximately 23 hours I landed at 12:15pm, exactly as planned.
