Iganga & Jinja, The Source of The Great Nile River!

aften
Bananatruck in Igangamarket...east of the Nile River, Uganda.


We've been going through another adventure, a trip from the Source of the Nile River to Lake Victoria just we're the ashes of Mahatma Gandhis we're spread out. The reason for this is because there's a big community of Hindus in the Jinja area. His ashes was also spread out in Ganges, India.


Tobias and me, just where the Nile touches Africas greates lake, Lake Victoria!


We've been in Iganga (2 hours East of Kampala) for almost a week now. The reason for this stay is becuase of our friend, Mr Jock. aka Mr Peanut man! He's project is based upon his knowledge in inventing Peanutmachines that make the peanutdeshelvnig process more efficient. He just got an order of 300 machines, and we've been in the workshop in the village for the whole week, working with the locals in the shop and studying their behaviors...the best experience ever!





The view from the Village outside Iganga, we're the Peanutmachines are made....


Yesterday Chunkie and Alan came to Iganga, Mr Jocks old friends, rich and crazy movieproducers from Hollywood! Chunkie use to be the assistant Producer of movies like The Return of the Jedi, The Crow, Willow e.t.c. We're hanging


Tomorrow we're leaving the small town of Iganga, for Mbale, 2 h north of Iganga, we're we'll be settling down for a few weeks. Chunkie and Alan will join us for some trekking in the Elgon mountains and the Great Sipi Falls by the Kenyan border.


  • Connecting to the Internet here is a greater adventure then taking the suicidalbus to Nairoibi!

  • By the way, we now understand why Olof Palme really put Sweden and Swedes on the map of the world...everybody here loves Sweden and especially Olof Palme. Its crazy that a such a small country, had such a leader that put Sweden on the map!



  • Nzra Mbale, Assanti banna, chakazulu muzungo! (Yeah, thats some more Kiswahili for you!)

  • Well, should we grabb a coffee in the VaxjoUni. Library café at 10:00 tomorrow morning and continue ?? Or just head towards the kenyan border again?? :-)
