Last week we were very sad to have to say goodbye to our trusty RAV4, which has taken us around Uganda on so many adventures.
Glen has put a lot of time and effort into keeping her maintained and fixing the numerous things that were wrong when we bought her. However, any hope of increasing the value has been lost in the depreciation of the Uganda Shilling over the past few months. Most importantly she has gone to a good home with another VSO volunteer in the north. No doubt she will have many more adventures to come.
We started the transfer process early and with good reason. Sorting out paperwork here can be tricky and selling the car has proved that to be true. But after 10 days we think we're nearly there and we still have just over 2 weeks to finalise everything.
Looking back we made the right decision to buy a car for the 2 years we've been in Uganda. It has dramatically improved our ability to travel both in and outside Kampala. We've been able to go out around Kampala in the evenings and at weekends without having to worry about how we're going to get back late at night. We've also had some wonderful holidays travelling the length and breadth of Uganda.
