Some Impressions of Muhanga and its surroundings

With this post I would like to give you a few impressions of Muhanga and its surroundings.

Everyday in the morning the valley is traversed by a heavy cloud cover. It is impressive to watch how the sky opens up.



Now is the time to harvest sorghum. Everywhere in Muhanga people dry sorghum on big sheets on the soil, but first they put it into water for one day to make it soft. On the picture you can see women cleaning sorghum.

Today I have climbed another surrounding hill. I really enjoy moving around and getting to know the neighbouring parts of Muhanga.

Even I have found somebody who knows the region very well and who is willing to guide me through the small paths through the villages up to the tops.

But it was not so easy to convince him that I am able to walk up to the top. Sometimes I have the feeling people think that I am disabled.

Today we have been at Nykitabire. On top, the view has been magnificent!

My new hairstyle

Even before I flew to Uganda I have decided to braid my hair.
And on Friday it finally happened. The day before I have bought the additional hair. The choice has not been so easy. Actually, I wanted to a have the same colour as my own hair has. But here in Uganda it is not so easy to find such a colour. They just had a very unnatural blond. And that’s why have chosen “coffee brown”. And I am pretty satisfied with the colour.
On Friday, I have been at the salon at 09.00 in the morning and I have left at 20.00 in the evening. And you won’t believe it, but my hair has not been completely braided. On Saturday, in the morning I have continued the sitting marathon and finally at 15.00 in the afternoon I could walk home. You cannot believe how exhausting it is to sit the whole day.
However, it has been worth while. I have never had so much hair and it is really difficult for me to handle it. The lady at the salon told me not to wash it and just to use a spray.
That’s my magnificent head of hear for the next month! (I am curious how it will develop)


That's the way how the lady in the salon tied my hair up.
