Series of firsts > First time in Uganda

 year is 1982

am in class 2

the family needs to head out to bukoba

my grandfather had passed away



the drive is from nairobi

through to kampala

and then to the border of

kenya and tanzania

all i remember are the number of 

roadblocks

manned by menacing men

hold huge guns

dressed in fatigues

i remember also going over a volkswagen!

years later

i learnt that 

my dad had just gotten his license!

and piled his family into the Audi car

and off we went to Bukoba!!

  1. I remember we passed a roadblock which was only a stone and the cops surrounded the car!
