Saturday, 31th July. Semliki Time: 06:15pm
Jee whiz, cripes and cor-blimey! Just a short blog entry. We got a message from the head of the Semliki Ugandan Wildlife Association today saying that, if we could not produce permits, prompt-haste, we would be ejected from Semliki. Tomorrow it looks like we’re off to Kampala on a London-transport-deisel-engine-97-horsepower-omnibus. Or whatever the Ugandan equivalent is…. With luck we’ll be able to pick up the appropriate permits and not loose too much money in the process. Its all a bit sudden, but hopefully a change of scenery will do us good. Seeing the same five huts and the same jungle for the best part of four weeks has caused my brain to start eating itself, and the mild heatstroke hasn’t helped either.
In other news, Alex found an elephant tooth today in the river. When elephants get very old, they loose their back molars. Rather an enviable paper weight if we can clean it up. Though if she gets the elephant tooth, I bagsie the chimp skull.
More from the capital.
