Barricades

Upon landing in Entebbe, Uganda, we were shocked by the number of shops, hotels, and even houses hidden behind gates and high fences.

Before long, we got used to seeing barred windows and night guards, even in the cheapest guesthouses.

Strangely enough, we felt quite safe pedaling through the East African countryside.

It was only after some street kids stole Paul’s water bottles that we began to understand why so much money had been spent on security measures.
