We were given the welcome opportunity to sleep in this morning, pick-up was at ten! Our first stop was Watoto church, where we were given a private performance by three of the Watoto Children’s Choirs. I’ve never heard them before (missed opportunities in Aus) and it was a fantastic performance. Afterwards we met the kids and got to have a chat to them. The choirs are going to the Uk, USA and Canada. The next choir destined for Australia begins practice in a month, and are due to fly out in March 2010.
Afterwards, we walked down to the Ladie’s markets, where we spent an hour and a half, shopping till we dropped. Quite a few of us actually ran out of money!
Lunch was at a cafe called Javas, where we were treated to some fantastic food, and the background noise of a very busy intersection, where a car tire popped and scared us out of our seats!
Our next destination was St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe Hill. It’s the largest cathedral I’ve ever seen, and has some gorgeous stained-glass windows. The currently standing one was built in 1911, as the previous ones had fallen victim to various natural disasters.
All in all, a fantastic day. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t wait to show off today’s purchases!
