- Bad, mountainous, and pothole-filled roads
- Old buses
- Aggressive drivers
Answer: a 80km journey takes the better part of the day. This is what we were treated to the other day trying to get from Kisoro to Kabale in southwestern Uganda.
The yellow bus lost a strut (literally it looked like it blew apart) and the blue bus hastily tried to pass it, getting wedged between the yellow bus and the hillside, and blocking the whole road. I have to give these guys credit though: they were able to fully repair a broken strut on a treacherous hillside in under two hours.
Johan and new British friend Holly are also below, safely waiting out a heavy rainstorm in Kabale under cover.
In Kampala now, taking a 13+hour bus to Nairobi tomorrow. Almost done! I canät believe it...
