The equator

On the way home from seeing the gorillas we drove back across Uganda and it was very scenic mountains bush and loads of Banana trees. We dropped in on the equator, the real North - South Divide

Saw this Crocodile somewhere near Lake Victoria. We also dropped in on Lake Victoria which is ENORMOUS it links Uganda with Tanzania and Kenya, fery boats go across it. It is very green as it is full of algae at the moment

I borrowed this russian rifle off of a security guard. Uganda was full of security guards weilding pump action shotguns AK47s, M16s and an assortment of rifles including this russian rifle circa
1942 still in very good nick

We saw the experiment where water is poured down a drainage pipe and North it goes anti clockwise, South it goes anti-clockwise and on the equator it goes straight down. It's just a line that goes diagonally across the main road but of course the is as a row of tacky good shops selling carved animals masks and other curious objects. they also do a very coffee and a very large muffin.

As you have to do on these occasions we managed to restrain our selves to only 4 items from the shops. Your always taken in by the; well that looks different ...... or that would look good on the...... or do you think .... would like that?
