Death Race 2000

I hadn’t packed, I was just so tired, I didn’t set my alarm and got up about 10am. No bus for me, I was going to have to take the worse option, a ’2 1/2 hour’ Matatu to Fort Portal :( Stupid lazy tourist! Breakfast and then off the taxi place, at least the sun was shining, as nice a day to die as any I have seen. The journey was thankfully without incident, but we had to swap halfway there, it took about 5 hours and at one point we had 24 souls in the same bus (or 25 if you include the chicken that was sitting at my feet. Poor little bugger!). I hate it when you can’t see out of the windscreen because of people crouching in the bus, hate it. I would have happily seen the driver arrested and us all have to carry on with someone else. Greedy bastards the lot of them. I checked into the Ruwenzori View GH and prepared to spend a few days relaxing in a nice western run place, they were busy but had a spare twin. Nice place.
