We arrived in Entebbe a couple hours ago, 12 hours from Toronto to Addis, and then two hours to Entebbe. It was our first time flying with Ethiopian Airlines and we were suitably impressed.
There was screening for Ebola in the airports at both Addis and Entebbe. In Addis, there was a body temperature scanner; in Entebbe there was a separate form to fill out, and then a temperature scan. We also had our hands sprayed with something as we entered the Entebbe airport which I suppose is good for overall hygiene but is probably not very effective at stopping Ebola.
Although as I like to point out, it's just about the same distance from Monrovia to St. John's Newfoundland as it is from Monrovia to Djibouti (6060km vs 5844km).
We are staying at the Karibu Guest House near the airport, as we fly out tomorrow morning to Kidepo National Park. Right now we're enjoying a Ugandan chai tea with fresh banana bread, sitting on the veranda, watching the sun slowly set over Lake Victoria. So far a good start to the trip!
So glad you arrived safely. Enjoy all the experiences that await!
