I haven't driven in six months. Kampala is the most chaotic city to drive in that I have ever seen. I swore I would never drive here once I saw the traffic. This last weekend I finally drove about four blocks. The car was a rental as ours was in the shop and I'm not sure I am ready to handle the Defender! The car is a right hand drive car that you shift with your left. I managed to drive the four blocks without hitting anything or anyone. Dan was so impressed he had me drive home too.
Today I ventured out on the big roads with real traffic. It was nerve wracking but I managed to drive us all the way to the internet cafe dodging cars, pedestrians, goats, motorcycles and taxis. I even parked between the two yellow lines. Oh yes, be impressed.
This may or may not start my entrance into driving like a big girl here in Kampala. For now I am happy to have my personal chauffeur and the occasional motorcycle taxi ride.
