So we (Joe and I) left Kampala on April 9th to head towards Fort Portal. We actually wanted to take the "Post Uganda" Bus but that was full, so we got a ride with the guy bringing the mail from Kampala to Fort Portal. Getting a ride doesn't mean for free, we paid the same price as for the bus (that probably would not have been necessary). Welcome to Africa!
We stayed at a small Community Campsite, really lovely, until my mobile phone has been stolen on April 10th. This campsite is more or less in the bush but somehow they had people working on the campsite that day and then it happened. They really tried, that means they asked the possible suspects to come to the campsite, then asked them if they have stolen the mobile phone and then let them go again. I went to the local police to get a rapport for the insurance. The officer said, that if I don't have a suspect I lost the mobile phone and it hasn't been stolen. Hae?!?!?!?
Well in Fort Portal I met a guy who was really upset that the police officer hadn't told me that a mobile phone could be tracked with it's serial number. He also said that this is not how guests should be treated. Now there is the advice, always carry your mobile phone serial number with you, you never know. I contacted my father and as I keep all boxes, and know where I have packed and stored everything it wasn't such a big deal to get the requested number.
The thing is that on Easter Sunday the guy is not on duty. But what should I do another day or two in Fort Portal? We wanted to head to Kabale tomorrow, spend a night or two there or at Lake Bunyonyi, but then today we were told that tomorrow Kalita (Bus) doesn't go to Kabale. It is possible that there is another one going tomorrow at 6am, we aren't really sure about that but we will get up and check. Or perhaps I will stay here for a few more days to try to get the thing with the mobile phone sorted out. That would be "wow", if I would get it back. I was told that it works,though I don't really believe it yet.
Well I hope you're all enjoying a nice and sunny Easter Weekend.
