Views from various windows

As some people have noticed, I'm now back from a three week adventure in East Africa. I'll tell you more about that later, when I have time and feel like blogging, but for now, here's a small appetizer. These are the views from the windows of the various places I stayed during my holiday:

Gloria's place in Kisaasi, Kampala

Our hotel in Jinja, by the source of the Nile

The hotel room had two windows. Here's the view from the other one.

In Mbale, we stayed at CRO's youth centre, where I also stayed during my seven months there. Very good to be home for some few days.

The FOCUS centre in Nairobi

Our hotel in Arusha

Jambo Guest House, Dar Es Salaam. This place was dirty and noisy and - surprisingly - very cold in the night.

The excellent Kokoni Hotel in Stonetown, Zanzibar

Amaan Bungalows, Nungwi, Zanzibar

Jambo Guest House again, only a better room, with a better view...
