Searching
for a job is depressing. Searching for a job for much longer time than expected
is depressing, mind-numbing and taxing in every single way you can imagine. And I am
fully aware I have not been unemployed nearly as long as many other people.
Anyways, at some point you need some kind of distraction from all this and from
the fact that the next planned trip isn’t until August. It’s hard to find
anything that is able to distract you from the daily suckery but that is what
trips are for!
I hereby
present to you this year’s “I need to get away and be able to think about
something else for a while”-trip.
9th
– 10th of April
Fly out
from Copenhagen, layover in Doha and continue to Kampala. The original plan was
to fly with Emirates – they have the A380 going CPH-DXB with economy also on
the top floor – but considering price, length of layovers, and the quite large
difference in reviews on Skytrax I ended up going with Qatar instead.
11th
of April
A long
day’s drive west to Kalinzu Forest Reserve. The tour is an overland camping
tour so things will be similar to when I did my Southern Africa trip where we
have a large bus/truck containing everything we need and the nights are spent
in tents.
12th
of April
We will
be getting up early in the morning to do a chimpanzee trek followed by a tea
plantation visit afterwards. To be honest if the chimpanzee trek drags out I
won’t be the one to complain if we are forced to skip the plantation. End the
day by driving to Lake Bunyonyi.
13th
of April
Gorilla
trek. Not much else to say, is there? Whatever time not spent on the trek is
spent relaxing. Looking back to when I was there in 2010 that’s probably a good
thing; the humidity and conditions you walk in doesn’t really encourage much running
around after returning from the trek.
14th
of April
Free day
to do (almost) whatever we want. Among the list of choices is also the chance
to do a day trip to Rwanda. That sounds quite tempting, to be honest.
15th
– 16th of April
Drive
back to Kampala, spend a night there and continue east towards Jinja.
17th
of April
Spend
the day in Jinja for relaxing and activities.
18th
– 19th of April
Return to
Kampala midday before getting on a flight home in the late afternoon.
