We drove back from QENP to Entebbe, about an eight hour drive. We stopped at the equator again for a pic. The roads were paved and in good condition for most of the way, and there was only traffic when we passed through Kampala.
Marissa's flight was at 11:50pm so we had dinner at the hotel and then Marissa left for the airport to fly back to Toronto.
The next day Heather and I flew to Addis at 6pm to start our Ethiopia part of the trip, so we had the day to relax at Karibu Guest House.
We had bought some masks at Mweya, two of which Marissa took back for us. The 3rd is large and didn't fit into her suitcase. We just tried taking it as carry on, which worked - so now we just have to get it on the flight from Addis to Toronto (we left it at the hotel in Addis while we tour around Ethiopia).
Bole International Airport in Addis is pretty efficient, almost as good as Singapore. Most people on our flight were in transit so it was easy to pick up our luggage. We had arranged a driver from the hotel and he was there waiting with an "Eric D'Souza" sign. Got some birr from the ATM, drove to the Addis Regency, and we were checked into our hotel room less than 90 minutes after touching down.
