Who says we don't live in a beautiful country

 
Simon did an overnight flight last week for the Irish Embassy.  It was a place called Moroto and is in Moroto district which is located in orange above. 
Simon wanted to take a walk up one of the hills there. He asked at the place where he was staying if there was a path up the hill but they looked at him as if he was crazy.  Simon ended up making his own way through the tall grass.  He was just told to look out for snakes as he walked.
 
Due to him picking up a lot of burrs and seeds in the long grass he spent an hour back at his lodgings trying to pick them all out his clothes.  By the time he got to his socks he said it was a no win situation and the socks were tossed out.  However, the beauty of the place made up for it.  Another day in the life of a pilot in Uganda.  What is not to love about the job :)
