No longer in Kenya (aaah!) but still a Kenyan at heart...

Kampala Part II



Right, as promised a few pictures from Kampala, Uganda - for those of you who have absolutely nothing better to do...

This is from the Hotel balcony. It is RATHER HOT in Kampala, and very humid as the city is close to Lake Victoria, and basically on the equator, so it is a bit hazy.





The biggest export product (yokingly!) of Uganda is bananas, and they are everywhere to be seen! This is a boda - boda. The cheapest form of transport, and used for both goods and people. A bicycle (or small motorbike) with a small platform on the back - these bunches of bananas must weigh a ton!


An informal banana shop next to the road. A local dish called Matoke is made from boiled banana and ground nuts (peanuts) and then mashed to look like mashed potato - very tasty with a local beef stew, or blackbean stew. (Althought, with the bean stew and the matoke, you fart like a machine the next day!)




Sorry, I've run out of time, will have to do some more later!


Hope y'all have a pretty day now,



TTFN

I love to make a peanut stew with eggs, peanuts and milk. You can add all sorts of other things as well. I'm told it's a west African staple.
Everyone always loves it.
