Leaving on a jet plane.....again

We've just finished up a few days in England on our way to Uganda. We knew had a layover in London, so we'd planned on taking advantage of that by extending the layover to about a week.

John's grandma lives south of London, so we got to see her for a few days which was great. We got to sleep in a lot and catch up on jet-lag, which was great because when we fly to Africa the time-change won't be so bad, only 2 hours. Then we took the train to London, where we stayed in a very nice flat (that's an apartment for you non-british-lingo-savvy-folk) that some family friends let us stay in, right on the Thames river, next to Tower Bridge.

Quite a view, eh? Right from the apartment balcony.



Then we went and visited some friends that Ellie met last time she was in Uganda, (and who will be spending a year at New Hope quite soon.) which was great.

Then a kind a generous soul and relative of John's wanted us to have a nice time in London, and gave us some spending money, so we got to go on the London Eye, and to the London Aquarium, which was way fun. I hadn't been to an aquarium in years, and Ellie in particular was transfixed by the little fishies. I was more partiarl to the big ones, like this:






We did see Nemo and Dory in the same tank, however, and that was fun.


Then we met up with Jill Clark for tea, and then spent the rest of our time re-packing our bags.

So, we're off. Next week we'll be in Rwanda, so pray for more safe travels, both as we get there from Uganda, and during our stay and return.

For those who are following the situation in Kenya, don't worry about us, we're not even going to leave Nairobi airport during our layover.

Peace,
