a full day

so we left Gulu and said our goodbyes (some tearful) to our new friends

we began to make our way to Paraa Safari Lodge

let me list a few things that happened on our way:

- came across an elephant that poachers had shot 3 days prior and many people were still hacking off meat and bone - delicious?

- our bus broke down and we crammed in to our luggage van while some sat on the side of the hot, Ugandan road

- we saw elephants meandering through the country-side

...

when we finally arrived at our destination - we sat down for a quick lunch before heading out on a 3 hour Nile Cruise - seeing many elephants, hippos, crocodiles and many other creatures

tomorrow, we are up early for our 6am game drive in the park - hoping to see many more nocturnal animals

...

here is our extravagant accomodations:
