WEEKLY WRAP UP | TRAVEL | UGANDA
A Drunken Immigration Officer and a Completed Mural — It’s Been a Busy Week
My week in photos — Week 9— May 12–May 18, 2022
After our debacle with immigration last week, and being told that we had to return on Monday, we decided that it would be best if we wrapped up our mural in Ruboni by the weekend so that we could go and do our visa extension, then move directly to our next location.
Ruboni is not exactly an easy place to get to and we had had enough with riding on the backs of Boda Boda’s (motorcycles) up the bumpy dirt mountain road. We couldn’t face having to do it again, plus we were getting really close to finishing anyway. Of course, there are always things that can be improved upon, but only we can see those things. What we left them with is a pretty complete package and they are pleased with it.
And so are we.
This building will serve as a catch-all tourism location for the community. Here visitors can go to a small local food restaurant, and an adorable gift shop, plus they can book tours or inquire about tourism information in the valley. They have also recently started the Ruboni Tourism Committee, which will be housed in this building as well.
